Managing the buffering of data along arcs is a critical part of compiling a synchronous dataflow (SDF) program. This paper shows how dataflow properties can be analyzed at compile-time to make buffering more efficient. Since the target code corresponding to each node of an SDF graph is normally obtained from a hand-optimized library of predefined blocks, the efficiency of data transfer between ...
