The sixth set of data started writing to the buffers (pong buffer – buf0d/buf1d)
and the vadd kernel (node/actor) must wait to process frame 4 because the buffers are
locked due to the addConstant kernel (node/actor), which must wait to process frame 3.
The fir_32 kernel (node/actor) is still processing frame 1. The copy_in_out kernel must
wait to process frame 3 because the fir_32 kernel (node/actor) is still processing frame
1, which locks the buffers (buf3 and buf4). Even though the copy_in_out kernel can run
parallel, but the fir_32 is running slow, which generated the lock to the buffers
(buf3/buf4).
