4.11 Code generation (CG)

The CG domain is the base from which all other code generation domains (such as CGC and CG56) are derived. This domain supports a general dataflow model equivalent to the BDF and SDF models. The stars in this domain do little more than generate comments when fired, but they can serve to demonstrate and test the features of scheduling algorithms. In this domain, you can build test systems, view the generated code (comments) for multiple processors, and display a Gantt chart for parallel schedules. In derived domains, real code is generated, compiled, downloaded and executed, all under control of the selected target. In Ptolemy 0.7, one serious weakness of the code generation domains is that they only support scalar data types (complex, floating-point, integer, and fixed-point) on the input and output ports.
