Abstract :
As dataflow descriptions of media processing become popular, the techniques for analyzing and profiling the performance of sequential algorithms are no longer applicable. This paper describes some of the basic concepts and techniques for analyzing the computations described by dataflow programs, and illustrates them on an MPEG-4 decoder.
