Apparently, Arvind at MIT has developed a compiler that translates programs written in the data flow language ID into Maclisp. The compiler has been used in one of his courses for simulation studies. Does anyone know if it is available, and if so, how to obtain it? I'd be interested if anyone knows of similar tools (preferably in Common Lisp) for performing data flow simulation. I'd like some sort of interpreter that would convert a high level data flow (or functional) language into an equivalent graph representation, and provide some flexibility in the execution of the graph (e.g., data- and demand-driven evaluation, scheduling primitives, etc.). If I get several responses and a little interest, I'll post a summary. Thanks, John Baugh (jwb@cive.ri.cmu.edu)
