Avoiding evening coffee by Andrei Zagorodni

Actually, the title is incomplete – let’s also avoid the morning coffee.

Parallelization and no, not the kind you think. This isn’t about the parallel loops we build every day into LabVIEW programs. This is about short-lived, asynchronous runs even single VIs, no loops that still depend on each other and form complex patterns along time scale. And they offer approaches that can save serious time for both developers and users.

The clearest example? System initialization (and yes, deinitialization). Smart parallelization shortens startup and shutdown for the program and the hardware. Easy to implement in mid-sized, fixed configurations. But for large and reconfigurable systems? That’s where things get interesting. So, this talk is about not needing a coffee break after clicking Start. And not thinking about coffee after clicking Stop.

For LabVIEW architects and seasoned developers who like their code fast and their mugs empty.
