The assumed data type for the image pixel edges is int16 and it must deliver 220 Mpixels/s which equates to 440 MB/s. A single AI Engine stream/PLIO delivers 32 bits (4 Bytes) per cycle. Assuming AI Engine clock running at 1.25 GHz, this amounts to 5 GB/s.

Based on target throughput, a single stream/PLIO should be sufficient to meet bandwidth requirements.
