Block processing of input data in graphical programming environments

A computer-implemented system for performing block processing of input data in a graphical programming environment, wherein the graphical programming environment processes models that mathematically represent real systems, the computer-implemented system comprising:

• a block processing subsystem for iteratively generating an address uniquely identifying each data block of the input data to be processed by a model in the graphical programming environment, selecting a data block from the input data based on the address generated by the index generator;
• and
• a block processing unit operating on each data block to produce an output associated with the data block,
• wherein the block processing subsystem enables repeated processing of data blocks of the input data based on control parameters entered by a user and reassembles processed data blocks based on the address of the block to generate an output of the system, the control parameters including specifications of the processing unit operating on the data blocks.

A computer-implemented system for performing block processing of input data in a graphical programming environment, wherein the graphical programming environment processes models that mathematically represent real systems and are used to design a target system, the system comprising:

• a pointer generator for iteratively generating a pointer for each block of the input data to be processed by a model in the graphical programming environment based on control parameters entered by a user, the control parameters including a number of samples overlapped between adjacent data blocks;
• and
• a processing unit for processing the input data of each block designated by the pointer,
• wherein the processing unit operates directly on the block of the input data specified by the pointer to produce output data, and the input and output data inherently share memory space.

A computer-implemented method for performing block processing of input data in a graphical programming environment, the method comprising:

• generating an address uniquely identifying each data block of the input data to be processed by a model in the graphical programming environment, the address being one of a scalar or a vector and being a codeword capable of uniquely identifying all samples contained in the data block;
• selecting a data block from the input data based on the address;
• operating on each data block to produce an output associated with the data block;
• repeating the generating, selecting and operating steps for other data blocks of the input data based on control parameters entered by a user;
• and
• reassembling processed data blocks.
