Patent number: 10467059Abstract: A method for determining timing constraints in dataflow models is disclosed. The method includes receiving node information specifying a plurality of dataflow nodes, as well as coupling between various ones of the dataflow nodes. The method further comprising receiving timing information specifying timing constraints for at least some of the dataflow nodes. Based on the node information, the couplings between the nodes, and the timing information, a timeline dependency graph (TDG). The timeline dependency graph illustrates a timeline, mappings between nodes with side effects to firing times of those nodes on the timeline, and dependencies between nodes.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Patricia Derler, Kaushik Ravindran, Hugo A.
