Compiled Visual Programs by VisPro

چکیده
VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG). It is also the execution environment of visual programming languages (VPLs) developed under the VisPro system. However, due to the lack of compilation facilities, VisPro could only generate simple interpreted VPLs. We have developed a compilation mechanism for VisPro to implement compiled visual programs (VPs). The compiled visual programs are the executable diagrams that can be executed repeatedly. We present our approach in details in this paper.

Visual Language Semantics Specification in the VisPro System
VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system, which can produce a wide range of diagrammatic visual programming languages (VPLs) based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG), a context sensitive graph grammar. This paper presents an approach to specify the semantic execution sequence of VPLs based on VisPro. In this approach, we use an ordering mechanism to facilitate the parsing form...
متن کاملDesign, Construction, and Application of a Generic Visual Language Generation Environment
ÐThe implementation of visual programming languages (VPLs) and their supporting environments is time consuming and tedious. To ease the task, researchers have developed some high level tools to reduce the development effort. None of these tools, however, can be easily used to create a complete visual language in a seamless way like the lex/yacc tools for textual language constructions. This pap...

متن کاملUsing Graph Grammer to Implement Global Layout for a Visual Programming Language Generation System
VisPro is a general-purpose visual language generation system based on Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG). It can express a wide range of diagrammatic visual programming languages (VPLs). This paper presents a global layout approach used in the VisPro system. Our approach is grammar-based graph drawing, in which layout rules are embedded in the productions of RGG. Thus, the RGG formalism serves both ...
متن کاملAbout the Performance of HPF: Improving Runtime on the Cray T3E with Hardware Specific Properties
High Performance Fortran permits to write parallel programs with much less programming effort than by using standard communication libraries such as MPI or PVM. The performance of compiled HPF programs is considered low, though. We show that a compiled HPF application will gain a substantial runtime improvement if compilation incorporates properties of the hardware architecture into the final p...
