Abstract
Methods and systems for performing block processing of input data in graphical programming environments are disclosed. The input data that is to be processed is partitioned into a plurality of blocks. Each block of the input data is applied to the data processing unit for processing each block of the input data. The blocks of the processed data are combined to generate output data. If the size of the output data is smaller than or equals to the size of the input data, the present invention may perform in-place block processing of the input data in which the output data is overwritten on the input data. In the in-place processing of the input data, the output data may share memory space with the input data so that the block processing saves memory space in processing the input data.
