Abstract
A computer program known as BLODI, which accepts for an input a source program written in the BLODI language, is described. The BLODI source language corresponds closely to an engineer's block diagram of a circuit and is easily learned, even by persons not familiar with computing machines. The input code consists essentially of designating the connectivity of a number of boxes drawn from an alphabet of about 30 types. These types include amplifiers, delay lines, counters, etc., which are familiar to designers of electronic circuits. The principles of the compiler are explained and applications are discussed.

Synchronous data flow

TL;DR: A preliminary SDF software system for automatically generating assembly language code for DSP microcomputers is described, and two new efficiency techniques are introduced, static buffering and an extension to SDF to efficiently implement conditionals.

Static Scheduling of Synchronous Data Flow Programs for Digital Signal Processing

TL;DR: This self-contained paper develops the theory necessary to statically schedule SDF programs on single or multiple processors, and a class of static (compile time) scheduling algorithms is proven valid, and specific algorithms are given for scheduling SDF systems onto single ormultiple processors.
