VISUAL PROGRAM SPECIFICATION AND COMPILATION OF GRAPH-BASED COMPUTATION

摘要

Graph-based computation includes accepting specification information for the graph-based computation, the specification information including a plurality of graph elements, and providing a visual representation of the specification information to a user. A visual representation of one or more groups of the graph elements is determined based on the accepted specification information, including determining a spatial extend of a spatial region for at least a first group of the one or more groups, wherein the spatial extent of the spatial region is determined based at least in part on a spatial extent of each graph element of a subset of graph elements including one or more graph elements in the first group and at least one graph element out of the first group. A visual representation of spatial regions for the one or more groups is presented in conjunction with the visual information of the specification information.

1. A method for graph-based computation, the method including:
accepting specification information for the graph-based computation, the specification information including a plurality of graph elements, and providing a visual representation of the specification information to a user; determining, on a first computation system, a visual representation of one or more groups of the graph elements based on the accepted specification information, including determining a spatial extent of a spatial region for at least a first group of the one or more groups, wherein the spatial extent of the spatial region is determined based at least in part on a spatial extent of each graph element of a subset of graph elements including one or more graph elements in the first group and at least one graph element out of the first group; and providing a visual representation of spatial regions for the one or more groups to the user in conjunction with the visual representation of the specification information.
