Project Abstract
The Dataflow Interchange Format (DIF) is a standard language for
specifying mixed-grain dataflow models for digital signal processing (DSP)
systems. DSP refers to the digital analysis and manipulation of data
streams, such as those arising from audio signals, images, video streams
and digital communication waveforms. Major objectives of the DIF project
are to design this standard language; to provide an extensible
repository for representing, experimenting with, and developing dataflow
models and techniques; and to facilitate technology transfer of
applications across DSP design tools. Our ongoing work on the DIF
project is focusing on improving the DIF language and the DIF package to
represent more sophisticated dataflow semantics and exploring the
capability of DIF in transferring DSP applications and technology. This
exploration has resulted so far in an approach to automate exporting and
importing processes and a novel solution to porting DSP applications
through DIF.
