Ptolemy :
A flexible foundation for the specification, simulation, and
rapid prototyping of systems. It is an object-oriented
framework within which diverse models of computation can
co-exist and interact. For example, using Ptolemy a
data-flow system can be easily connected to a hardware
simulator which in turn may be connected to a discrete-event
system. Because of this, Ptolemy can be used to model entire
systems. In addition, Ptolemy now has code generation
capabilities. Based on a flow graph description, Ptolemy can
generate both C code and DSP assembly code for rapid
prototyping. Note that code generation is not yet complete,
and is included in the current release for demonstration
purposes only.
Version 0.4.1 includes a graphical algorithm layout, code
generator and simulator. It requires C__, C and has been
Sun-4,_MIPS/{Ultrix">ported to Sun-4, MIPS/{Ultrix; DSP56001, DSP96002.
Ptolemy is an active research project.
