Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A graphical program execution environment that facilitates communication between a producer program and a consumer program is disclosed. The producer program may store data in a memory block allocated by the producer program. A graphical program may communicate with the producer program to obtain a reference to the memory block. The graphical program may asynchronously pass the reference to the consumer program, e.g., may pass the reference without blocking or waiting while the consumer program accesses the data in the memory block. After the consumer program is finished accessing the data, the consumer program may asynchronously notify the graphical program execution environment to release the memory block. The graphical program execution environment may then notify the producer program that the block of memory is no longer in use so that the producer program can de-allocate or re-use the memory block.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种促进生产者程序和消费者程序之间的通信的图形程序执行环境。 生产者程序可以将数据存储在由生产者程序分配的存储器块中。 图形程序可以与生成器程序通信以获得对存储器块的引用。 图形程序可以异步地将参考传递给消费者程序，例如，可以在消费者程序访问存储器块中的数据的同时通过引用而不阻塞或等待。 在消费者程序完成访问数据之后，消费者程序可以异步地通知图形程序执行环境以释放存储器块。 图形程序执行环境然后可以通知生产者程序该存储器块不再被使用，使得生产者程序可以取消分配或重新使用存储器块。
