[Haskell-cafe] ANN: atom-0.0.2

Atom is a DSL in Haskell for designed hard realtime embedded programs. At Eaton, we are using it to control hydraulic hybrid refuse trucks and shuttle buses. After my talk at CUFP (http://cufp.galois.com/2008/schedule.html), a few people inquired about atom -- I finally had a chance to upload it to Hackage. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/atom-0.0.2 Some new enhancements: - A simple rule scheduler for load balancing. - Signal probing for debug and data logging. - Functional coverage to monitor which rules have executed. - Started integration with the Yices SMT solver for bounded model checking. Experiences with our Eaton project: - 5K lines of Haskell/atom replaced 120K lines of matlab, simulink, and visual basic. - 2 months to port simulink design to atom. - 3K lines of atom generates 22K lines of embedded C. - Design composed of 450 atomic state transition rules. - Rules with execution periods from 1ms to 10s all scheduled at compile time to a 1 ms main loop. - 3 minute compilation time from atom source to ECU. - Atom design clears electronic/sw testing on first pass. - Currently in vehicle testing with no major issues.
