An integrated data flow visual language and software development environment

Design of Embedded Systems: Formal Models, Validation, and Synthesis

“…Some examples of graphical dataflow programming environments intended for signal processing (including image processing) are Khoros [RW91], and Ptolemy [BHLM94].…”

A new SIMD computer vision architecture with image algebra programming environment

“…While C++ has been steadily and explosively gaining popularity, there are still many potential Image Algebra users who would rather forgo the use of any tool that requires development of a C++ program. This is one area that is well served, for example, by the Khoros Cantata [6] visual programming environment (Figure 9), albeit not in the same rigorous and transportable way as a mathematical notation such as Image Algebra. Khoros has been ported to several special-purpose architectures and has some functionality supported for the Sequent and Paragon architectures.…”

Using Schooner to support distribution and heterogeneity in the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation project

“…The two are nearly identical, differing only as to whether they designate the procedures as imports or exports.' For s h a f t , the relevant export specification is as follows: e x p o r t s e t s h a f t p r o g ( "ecom" v a l a r r a y [ 4 ] of f l o a t , incom" v a l i n t e g e r , " e t u r "…”

“…export: s h a f t prog ( "ecom" v a l a r r a y [ 4 ] of f l o a t , It i n com 'I v a l i n t e g e r , " e t u r " v a l a r r a y [ 4 ] of f l o a t , i n t u r Note that, in this example, all parameters are specified as either value or result parameters; UTS supports v a r (valudresult) parameters as well. This export specification is co-located with the n p s s -s e t s h a f t .…”
