Vireo

A compact parallel execution runtime for VIs (virtual instruments) saved in VI assembly format (.via files).

The Vireo project provides a subset of LabVIEW runtime functionality for small targets. Example usages are WebVIs and the EV3 support in the LabVIEW Module for LEGO® MINDSTORMS®. The LabVIEW features supported are primarily defined by the features needed for the VIA files generated by G Web Development Software.
