Patent number: 10216495Abstract: System and method for convergence analysis. One or more state variables of a first program may be determined based on dependencies of variables in a first program. A second program corresponding to the first program is created based on the state variables and their dependencies, and executed multiple times. Each execution may include recording values of the state variables, determining an execution count, comparing the values to corresponding values from previous executions of the second program, and terminating the executing in response to the values matching corresponding values from at least one previous execution of the second program. A convergence property for the first program is determined based on the execution count, and indicating a number of executions of the first program required to generate all possible values of the one or more variables. The convergence property is stored, and may be useable to optimize the first program.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2018Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATIONInventors: Taylor L. Riche, Newton G. Petersen, Hojin Kee, Adam T. Arnesen, Haoran Yi, Dustyn K. Blasig, Tai A. Ly

Patent number: 9898267Abstract: System and method for performing correlation analysis. A program that includes multiple program structures and one or more data objects is stored. Each data object is shared by at least two of the program structures. For each program structure, decomposition effects on each of the data objects shared by the program structure resulting from each of a respective one or more optimizing transforms applied to the program structure are analyzed. One or more groups of correlated structures are determined based on the analyzing. Each group includes two or more program structures that share at least one data object, and at least one optimizing transform that is compatible with respect to the two or more program structures and the shared data object. For at least one group, the at least one optimizing transform is usable to transform the two or more program structures to meet a specified optimization objective.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATIONInventors: Hojin Kee, Haoran Yi, Tai A.

Patent number: 9870206Abstract: System and method for creating a graphical program. A first replication structure may be included in a graphical program, where the first replication structure specifies replication of any graphical program code inside the first replication structure. First graphical program code may be included inside the first replication structure. An implementation of the graphical program may be automatically generated, including generating multiple instances of an implementation of the first graphical program code within the implementation of the graphical program. Executing the graphical program may include executing the multiple instances, e.g., concurrently and/or serially.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATIONInventors: Julian G. Valdez, Taylor L. Riche, Neil S. Feiereisel, Robert E. Dye, Stephen R. Loftus-Mercer, Dustyn K. Blasig, Mary E. Fletcher, Brent C. Schwan, Stephen L. Dark
