Abstract
The present disclosure provides a stream processor, an associated stream controller and compiler, and associated methods for data processing, such as image processing. In some embodiments, a method includes defining a kernel pattern associated with an image frame, and processing the image frame using the defined kernel pattern. The method can further include generating a kernel switch lookup table based on the defined kernel pattern. In various implementations, the stream controller is operable to direct execution of kernels on the image frame according to the defined kernel pattern and the kernel switch lookup table.
