20090024981 | Graphical Program Execution with Distributed Block Diagram Display - System and method for executing a graphical program on a first computer and providing a user interface of the graphical program on a second computer, where the graphical program includes a plurality of interconnected function icons representing graphical data flow of a function. Information indicating a plurality of graphical programs on the first computer, e.g., a list, may be displayed on the second computer, and user input specifying the graphical program on the first computer received to the second computer, e.g., selecting the graphical program from the list of graphical programs. The graphical program is executed on the first computer, and information describing the user interface of the graphical program is provided to the second computer during said executing. The user interface of the graphical program is displayed on the second computer, facilitating interaction between a user of the second computer and the graphical program executing on the first computer. | 01-22-2009 |
20090241089 | Converting a First Graphical Program into a Second Graphical Program Using an Intermediate Abstract Representation - System and method for programmatically generating a second graphical program associated with a second programming development environment based on a first graphical program associated with a first programming development environment. The second graphical program may be generated programmatically, without relying on user input, or may prompt for user input to determine various options to use in generating the second graphical program. The second graphical program may implement the functionality of, or a portion of the functionality of, the first graphical program. The method preferably generates the second graphical program such that the second programming development environment is operable to treat the second graphical program identically to a graphical program interactively developed by a user using the second programming development environment. Thus, once the second graphical program has been generated, the user may use the second programming development environment to edit the second graphical program, execute the second graphical program, etc. | 09-24-2009 |
20090293044 | Graphical Program Code Coverage - System and method for analyzing a graphical program. A graphical program is provided that includes a plurality of interconnected nodes that visually indicate functionality of the program. The graphical program includes a plurality of block diagrams arranged in a hierarchical manner, including a top-level block diagram and one or more sub-block diagrams, where each block diagram includes a respective subset of the plurality of interconnected nodes. At least one of the block diagrams includes a node that includes at least one of the sub-block diagrams. When a block diagram executes, all the respective nodes of the block diagram execute. Each node in the plurality of interconnected nodes is configured to provide graphical code coverage information when executed. The graphical program is executed, thereby generating graphical code coverage information for the graphical program indicating which nodes executed, which is then stored. | 11-26-2009 |
20100306733 | Automatically Creating Parallel Iterative Program Code in a Data Flow Program - System and method for automatically parallelizing iterative functionality in a data flow program. A data flow program is stored that includes a first data flow program portion, where the first data flow program portion is iterative. Program code implementing a plurality of second data flow program portions is automatically generated based on the first data flow program portion, where each of the second data flow program portions is configured to execute a respective one or more iterations. The plurality of second data flow program portions are configured to execute at least a portion of iterations concurrently during execution of the data flow program. Execution of the plurality of second data flow program portions is functionally equivalent to sequential execution of the iterations of the first data flow program portion. | 12-02-2010 |

20120254845 | Vectorizing Combinations of Program Operations - System and method for vectorizing combinations of program operations. Program code is received that includes a combination of individually vectorizable program portions that collectively implement a first computation. Each individually vectorizable program portion has at least one array input and at least one array output. The combination of individually vectorizable program portions is transformed into a single vectorizable program portion that is or includes a functional composition of the combination of individually vectorizable program portions. Vectorized executable code implementing the first computation is generated based on the single vectorizable program portion. The generated executable code is directed to SIMD (Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data) computing units of a target processor. | 10-04-2012 |
