Compaan: Deriving process networks from matlab for embedded signal processing architectures

This paper presents the Compaan tool that automatically transforms a nested loop program written in Matlab into a processnetwork spec-ification. The process network model of computation fits better with the new emerging kind of embedded architectures that use copro-cessors. Processnetworks can describe both fine-grained and coarse-grained parallelism, making the mapping of the applications easier
