Ptolemy
     
        A flexible foundation for the specification, simulation, and
        rapid prototyping of systems.  It is an {object-oriented}
        framework within which diverse models of computation can
        co-exist and interact.  For example, using Ptolemy a
        {data-flow} system can be easily connected to a hardware
        simulator which in turn may be connected to a discrete-event
        system.  Because of this, Ptolemy can be used to model entire
        systems.  In addition, Ptolemy now has code generation
        capabilities.  From a {flow graph} description, Ptolemy can
        generate both {C} code and {DSP} {assembly code} for rapid
        prototyping.  Note that code generation is not yet complete,
        and is included in the current release for demonstration
        purposes only.
     
        Version 0.4.1 includes a graphical algorithm layout, code
        generator and simulator.  It requires {C++}, {C} and has been
        ported to {Sun-4}, {MIPS}/{Ultrix}; {DSP56001}, {DSP96002}.
        Ptolemy is an active research project.
