  • Distributed computations of graphical programs having a pattern
    Patent number: 9262141
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for concurrently processing at least a portion of a graphical model is provided. The method may include obtaining the graphical model; recognizing a pattern in the graphical model, the pattern suitable for concurrent processing; and employing concurrent processing using multi-thread, multi-core, or multi-processor computing device when executing the pattern in the graphical model.

  • System and method for using stream objects to perform stream processing in a text-based computing environment
    Patent number: 8789017
    Abstract: A mechanism for using stream objects in stream processing operations is provided. A definition of a class of stream objects used in stream processing algorithms can define output and update operations included in instances of the stream objects and the API (application programming interface) through which they may be called. The class definition may further include the type of state information to be held by the instantiated stream objects. An instance of the stream object may be instantiated in a text-based computing environment and the operations may be used to process streams of data.

  • System and method for optimizing block diagram models
    Patent number: 7949504
    Abstract: A method includes in a system determining a constraint for constraining operation of a portion of a block diagram model, determining if the portion of the block diagram model violates the constraint, and providing a user information based on the violating of the first constraint.
