Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and method are disclosed for automatically generating computer programs for use in parallel processor arrangements from a user generated block diagram of the program. The system includes a library of parallel program modules and parallel program interface modules, a background manager (glue), a virtual shared memory, and a visual programming interface. Using the visual programming interface, the user selects parallel program modules and program interface modules and specifies operating characteristics information required to implement a block diagram of the desired program. The user then enables the system to create the source program, compile the program and execute the program on the system. The glue manager automatically establishes the communication paths needed to provide communication between the program and interface modules.
