Abstract
This presentation provides an overview of the dataflow interchange format (DIF) project at the University of Maryland. DIF is a textual language for specifying mixedgrain dataflow representations of signal processing applications. A major theme in the DIF project is facilitating experimentation with interactions between different dataflow modeling techniques and associated transformations that exploit specific properties of these techniques. One way that DIF achieves this is by allowing designers to specify subgraphs of a design in terms of specific dataflow modeling techniques, such as synchronous, cyclo-static, and parameterized dataflow, through corresponding keywords in the language. DIF also incorporates a new dataflow model of computation called enable-invoke dataflow, which is geared towards high expressive power, functional simulation, rapid prototyping, quasi-static scheduling, and efficient refinement into more specialized dataflow models.
