The nested loop programs communicate via arrays and can be executed on different processors. Typically an array can be communicated via a circular buffer with a capacity smaller than the array. For such buffers, the communicating nested loop programs have to synchronize and a sufficient buffer capacity needs to be computed. In a circular buffer we use a write and a read window to support rereading, out-of-order reading or writing, and skipping of locations. A cyclo static dataflow model is derived from the application and used to compute buffer capacities that guarantee deadlock free execution. Our case-study applies circular buffers in a Digital Audio Broadcasting channel decoder application, where the frequency deinterleaver reads according to a non-affine pseudo-random function. For this application, buffer capacities are calculated that guarantee deadlock free execution.
