SA-C (Streaming Architecture C) is a language for digital signal processing on reconfigurable computing devices. The language supports high-level programming constructs for hardware/software co-design. SA-C enables programmers to express algorithms as a sequence of computations over streams of data, with parameters that can be used to specify many different implementations from a single source. This allows efficient mapping onto different types of parallelism in the underlying hardware, such as pipeline and task parallelism.
