Compute Graph Framework (CGF)

The Compute Graph Framework offers easily configurable data pipelines which can be deterministically and efficiently scheduled. It consist of the following parts:

• A C++ API to describe composable entities which commonly wrap existing algorithms implemented in DriveWorks modules.
• Communication primitives to exchange data between entities efficiently.
• A JSON-based description of data pipelines modelled as directed acyclic graphs (DAG) which can be nested hierarchically to achieve decomposition.
• A JSON-based description of application details like the process layout, resource assignment, scheduling, etc.
• A scheduler to trigger the processing steps defined by the entities as specified by the DAG.
• Various tools to support the development workflow.
