Researchers Develop New Tool For Writing Code

neutron_p writes "A group of researchers, led by Carnegie Mellon researchers, have developed a new set of software tools that may revolutionize the way computer code is written. They said they have created a new breed of software called "SPIRAL" that automatically generates code for signal-processing applications - applications that help make computers run faster and cheaper. "What SPIRAL does is permit users to develop high quality code for new and old applications automatically, say in 10 minutes or less, saving time, money and aggravation for end users""

Re:DSP Code

[torpor]

i concur. the kinds of products i work on have the same constraints: 'tricky DSP code', which, actually, is pretty simple and easy to think with, wrapped up in a huge base of code required to make that simplicity 'easy to use' for the end user.

gah. interface is always gonna be king. lets see if SPIRAL + GUI-RAD is gonna come to fruition any time soon, for DSP work anyway that'd be nice ..
