Abstract : Designing VLSI circuits for efficient stream processing implementations requires the designer to simultaneously consider both algorithmic and hardware architectural trade-offs. Rapid prototyping for such applications implies not only short design time but also satisfying certain design constraints, such as timing and silicon area. Direct-mapping is a method for reasoning about these issues and describing them unambiguously. The BEE (Berkeley Emulation Engine) with its rapid prototyping flow provides the platform for emulat-ing a class of these systems in real-time.
