Synchronous Reactive Modular Code Generation Project Report

Opaque composite actors with monolithic fire functions can result in inefficient executions of Synchronous Reactive (SR) models because, although the causality interfaces of the composite actors may detect that there are no causality loops, the outside directors have no way of firing internal actors that their inputs are known, as a result SR models are executed several times until fixed points are reached. To improve the performance, we employ a new technique, called modular interface, in which each composite actor could have multiple fire interface functions so that an outside director can invoke appropriate interface functions based on the presence of respective inputs. We implement this with some clustering techniques. In addition, generating a composite actor so that other users do not need to know about the internal structure of the actor without sacrificing performance might be a good approach for intellectual property protection.
