AutoCode

Last edit February 3, 2006

A process using Wizards, Code Generators, and IntelligentTemplates to generate code.

Some assert that the generated code is as good as manually coded programs.

Auto Code

...an extremely flexible and easily customizable automatic code generation tool. Using template-based generation technology, you can configure the exact format and specification of the resulting code. This makes it easy for you to generate code for rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing on one real-time platform and then switch templates to generate code for your final production target.
- AutoCode features:
  - Automatic code generation for C or Ada
  - Template-based code generation that you can customize for virtually any target
  - Implementation at any level in the model hierarchy for incremental test and validation
  - Support for discrete and continuous models -- single-rate, multirate, and asynchronous
  - Full support of SystemBuild floating-point and fixed-point data

"... describes a way in which multiple target source code can be generated from a single model. A custom data class is developed so that it can be used to define both signal and parameter data types necessary for data dictionary-driven models. This capability allows a single model to be used to generate code for multiple target hardware architectures."
