%T Efficient Execution of Process Networks %A T. Basten, J. Hoogerbrugge %E Alan G. Chalmers, Majid Mirmehdi, Henk Muller %B Communicating Process Architectures 2001 %X Kahn process networks (KPNs) [1] are a popular modeling technique for media\- and signal\-processing applications. A KPN makes parallelism and commu\-nication in an application explicit; thus, KPNs are a modeling paradigm that is very suitable for multi\-processor architectures. We present techniques for the efficient ex\-ecution of KPNs, taking into account both execution time and memory usage.
