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.
From 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 ported to Sun-4,
MIPS/
Ultrix;
DSP56001, DSP96002. Ptolemy is an active research project.
