Signal Concepts

It’s important to note that frame-based processing will introduce a certain

amount of latency into a process due to the inherent lag in buffering the initial

frame. In many instances, however, it is possible to select frame sizes that

improve throughput without creating unacceptable latencies.

Accelerating Simulations

Simulation also benefits from frame-based processing. In this case, it is the

overhead of block-to-block communications that is reduced by propagating

frames rather than individual samples.
