A computer-implemented method for debugging an executable control flow graph that specifies control flow among a plurality of functional modules, with the control flow being represented as transitions among the plurality of functional modules, the computer-implemented method including: specifying a position in the executable control flow graph at which execution of the executable control flow graph is to be interrupted; wherein the specified position represents a transition to a given functional module, a transition to a state in which contents of the given functional module are executed or a transition from the given functional module; starting execution of the executable control flow graph in an execution environment; and at a point of execution representing the specified position, interrupting execution of the executable control flow graph; and providing data representing one or more attributes of the execution environment in which the given functional module is being executed.

Debugging an executable control flow graph that specifies control flow

Managing task execution includes: receiving a specification of a plurality of tasks to be performed by respective functional modules; processing a flow of input data using a dataflow graph that includes nodes representing data processing components connected by links representing flows of data between data processing components; in response to at least one flow of data provided by at least one data processing component, generating a flow of messages; and in response to each of the messages in the flow of messages, performing an iteration of a set of one or more tasks using one or more corresponding functional modules.
