D Redesign of PipeRench

PipeRench is designed as a virtualized programmable datapath for media 

The critical path of PipeRench chip lies completely within one stripe. The signal path is shown in Fig. 3.8. In fact, because one stripe can potentially be configured as one single entity to perform certain computation, the critical path has to account for the delay from the rightmost PE to the leftmost PE in the same stripe. In Fig. 3.2 the critical path is sketched in bold line. In the worst case,
