Role : Embedded Developer
Organization : Sasken Technologies, India
Synopsis :
 The revolutionary Data Driven Media Processor is one of the latest variants of data driven
processors.
 The DDMP is an ultra high-speed parallel processor that does not rely on a system clock. It uses
data-driven techniques, in which processing operations are timed by the arrival of data packets
rather than by a system clock. There are various stages involved in developing an application for
DDMP architecture.
 Tool chain that helps a DDMP designer in specific stages of the DDMP design has been developed.
This tool chain consists of FEDE, Estimator, Assembler, Validator, Allocator and DDMP Simulator.
 This integrated set of tools is called the DDMP Application Designer’s Toolkit (DADT) and its design
environment is called the DDMP Visual Workbench (DVW).
