Task Parallelism in Spar

In this paper we will give a small introduction to Spar, a programming language for semi-automatic parallel programming. Spar, a Java derivative is being developed as part of the Automap project, which aims to create completely automatic mappings for code and data at either compile time or runtime. We will present how Spar supports task-parallel programming and how it interacts with the user or...

The Spar/Java Programming Language

In recent years, embedded systems with multiple processors have become increasingly important. These systems often consistof a general-purpose processor and one, oreven several, digital signal processors (DSPs). For portability, flexibility, and robustness it is often useful to regard such a cluster as a single, parallel, system. Since such a system contains several types of processors, it is s...

The SPAR speech filing system

SPAR (Speech-Pattern Algorithms and Representations) is the name given to the consortium of University College London, Imperial College, GEC Hirst Research Centre, Plessey Research and Leeds University funded under Alvey Project MMI-09. The project is concerned with advanced speech analysis algorithms, and from the outset saw the need for a system for speech data management. The SPAR Speech Fil...

SPAR: a schematic place and route system

This paper presents an approach to the automatic generation of schematic diagrams from circuit descriptions. The heuristics which make up the system are based on two principles of schematics readability: Functional Identi cation and Traceability. SPAR's generation process is broken into ve distinct phases: partitioning the netlist, placement of components on the page, global routing, local rout...
