Abstract

Generating a hardware description for a programmable hardware element based on a graphical program including multiple models of computation. A graphical program may be received which includes a first portion having a first computational model and a second portion having a second computational model. A hardware description may be generated based on the graphical program. The hardware description may describe a hardware implementation of the graphical program. The hardware description may be configured to configure a programmable hardware element to implement functionality of the graphical program.
