A central theme of C1R is the model. By partitioning the hardware into autonomous processing elements (PEs), we can achieve:

The C1R (Complexity 1 Reduction/Release) phase represents a critical bridge between high-level algorithmic modeling and physical hardware realization. This paper explores the methodologies used in the C1R stage to transform sequential video processing code into parallelized, hardware-friendly Register Transfer Level (RTL) specifications. We focus on memory optimization, dataflow partitioning, and power-aware design. 1. Introduction

Implementing deeper pipelines allows for higher clock speeds but increases the "time-to-first-pixel."
