....computational steering or visualization systems. CHAPTER 4 DATAFLOW IMPLEMENTATION In this chapter we present an overview of the SCIRun software architecture. SCIRun composes computational algorithms (Modules) with data elements (Datatypes) using a boxes and wires, dataflow style approach [64]. An example of a simple dataflow network is shown in Figure 4.1, and the output of this network is shown in Figure 4.2. This chapter will explain how demand driven and data driven dataflow mechanisms can be mixed to provide flexibility in creating modules. We also demonstrate how the ....

....wisdom that graphical displays of parallel structure are beneficial. The conclusions reached herein are natural extensions of this conventional wisdom. The concept of visual directed graph programming systems is not new. The first significant system was probably that of Keller and Yen [Kel81] in 1981. However there has been much progress since then. See [New93] for a survey. Visual parallel programming will be Experiences with CODE and HeNCE in Visual Programming for Parallel Computing 3 discussed both in the abstract and specifically in terms of two implemented visual parallel ....

Of these, perhaps CODE comes closest to Paralex in design goals. In addition to a graphical notation for parallel programs, ....

....conventionally, as text. This paper argues that significant benefits can be obtained by going a step further and directly expressing parallel programs visually. The concept of visual directed graph programming systems is not new. The first significant system was probably that of Keller and Yen [Kel81] in 1981. It is, however, only in recent years that a significant impact from visual directed graph parallel programming languages has been obtained. The advantages of this approach will be discussed both in the abstract and specifically in terms of two implemented visual parallel programming ....

....languages. Adams s model [Ada68] is an early example. Computations are deterministic. There are sophisticated techniques for mapping inputs to outputs, as firing and routing rules do in CODE. Ackerman [Ack82] provides a general discussion of early ideas in dataflow languages. Keller and Yen [Kel81] discuss directed graph programming and Davis and Keller [Dav82] present a dataflow language with special purpose nodes for non standard firing rules and discuss graph composition. CODE 1.x J.C. Browne has been investigating computation graph systems for many years. The general advantages of ....
