Processing architectures must adapt in order to meet these demands. The two techniques most prevalent for achieving throughput constraints are parallel processing and stream processing. By combining these techniques, significant throughput improvements have been achieved. These preliminary results apply to specific applications, and general tools for automation are in their infancy. In this dissertation techniques are developed to automatically generate efficient parallel streaming hardware architectures.ETDIn CopyrightStreamingField programmable gate arraysHardwareDigital Signal ProcessingPermutationDissertation
