Design of the streaming processor architecture for microkernel controller and ALU

Media application such as 3D graphic processing, image processing, video decode and encode requires high rates of arithmetic operation per second. As an outcome of a decade long research, Stream Processor architecture, which is designed to exploit the characteristic of media processing was proposed....
