Patent ID: 10318260

Abstract:
A method and system of compiling and linking source stream programs for efficient use of multi-node devices. The system includes a compiler, a linker, a loader and a runtime component. The process converts a source code stream program to a compiled object code that is used with a programmable node based computing device having a plurality of processing nodes coupled to each other. The programming modules include stream statements for input values and output values in the form of sources and destinations for at least one of the plurality of processing nodes and stream statements that determine the streaming flow of values for the at least one of the plurality of processing nodes. The compiler converts the source code stream based program to object modules, object module instances and executables. The linker matches the object module instances to at least one of the multiple cores. The loader loads the tasks required by the object modules in the nodes and configure the nodes matched with the object module instances. The runtime component runs the converted program.
