Implantable medical device stream processor

An implantable medical device having a stream processor, comprising:

• a housing;
• a power source contained in the housing;
• a controller coupled to the power source, the controller having memory;
• a first physiological sensing apparatus and at least a second physiological sensing apparatus coupled to the controller;
• means for first stream processing coupled to the first physiological sensor, the means for first stream processing also coupled to the power source and the controller;
• and,
• means for second stream processing coupled to the second physiological sensor, the means for second stream processing also coupled to the power source and the controller.

A stream processor for an implantable medical device, comprising:

• a first steam processing element, including
• a first data input coupled to a first first-in first-out (FIFO) input buffer, the first data input coupleable to a first implantable physiological sensing apparatus,
• a first central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the first FIFO input buffer,
• a first local memory configured for containing an executable program and first data coupled to the CPU,
• a first output coupled to a first first-in first-out (FIFO) output buffer and coupled to the first CPU;
• and,
• at least a second steam processing element, including
• a second data input coupled to a second first-in first-out (FIFO) input buffer, the second data input coupleable to a second implantable physiological sensing apparatus,
• a second central processing unit (CPU) coupled to the second FIFO input buffer,
• a second local memory configured for containing the executable program and second data coupled to the second CPU, and,
• a second output coupled to a second first-in first-out (FIFO) output buffer and coupled to the second CPU.
