EDFS CORE

Graph-Native Engineering Design Flow Foundation

EDFS Core is the foundational edition of Electronics Design Flow Studio. It provides the common graph, execution, numerical, project, provenance, results, and reporting infrastructure shared by every EDFS edition.

Purpose

Build, execute, preserve, and reproduce engineering workflows within one canonical project and graph environment.

Core Architecture

• Graph editor and project system

• Canonical graph runtime

• Graph Schema v2

• Kernel API v1

• Scheduler, cache, and run state

• Provenance and authority tracking

• Results contract and serialization

• Deterministic execution and replay

• Viewer and engineering reports

Numerical Environment

• Python / NumPy runtime

• GNU Octave integration

• MATLAB-compatible reference interfaces where applicable

• Numerical kernels executed through declared interfaces rather than UI-side computation

Project & Reporting

• Persistent engineering projects

• Structured results

• LaTeX / PDF report generation

• Reproducible run records

• Validation and regression support

Product Principle: One runtime. Many engines.

EDFS Core establishes the common execution language used by RF, XiRA, MXD-COGN, quantum, and future domain engines without requiring separate product forks.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Graph-Native Execution

Engineering objects are represented as typed nodes and edges with explicit kernels, transport semantics, state identity, units, validity, provenance, and authority.

Kernel-Based Computation

Engineering operations execute through declared EDFS kernels, separating computational mathematics from presentation and supporting multiple numerical backends through a common runtime contract.

Deterministic Execution & Replay

EDFS records graph, kernel, parameter, input, environment, and adapter state so engineering runs can be reproduced, compared, validated, and traced.

Result Authority

Results are accepted only after numerical, schema, closure, and provenance requirements pass. The Viewer renders authoritative backend results rather than creating inference in the UI.

Cross-Platform Runtime

• macOS

• Windows

• Linux

• HTTP reference runtime

• Native desktop host architecture

EDFS uses a common graph, kernel, and results architecture across presentation environments, preserving consistent execution semantics across platforms.

Designed For

• General engineering workflow construction

• Numerical design studies

• Reproducible computational experiments

• Engineering education and training

• Design-flow prototyping

• Reporting and technical documentation

• Foundation for EDFS RF, RF Advanced, and Research

Current Product Position

EDFS Core is the common software foundation for all EDFS editions. RF, RF Advanced, and Research add domain engines and higher inference without altering the Core runtime.
