The port combinations used in the constructor templates are specified in the following table.

Table 1. Port Combinations
PortA	PortB	Comment
`port <output>`	`port <output>`	Connect a kernel output to a parent graph output.
`port <output>`	`port <input>`	Connect a kernel output to a kernel input.
`port <output>`	`port <input>`	Connect a kernel output to a shared buffer input.
`port <output>`	`port <input>`	Connect a shared buffer output to a kernel input.
`port <output>`	`port <input>`	Connect a kernel output to an external buffer input.
`port <output>`	`port <input>`	Connect an external buffer output to a kernel input.
`port <output>`	`port <inout>`	Connect an output of a kernel or a subgraph to an inout port of another kernel or a subgraph.
`port <input>`	`port <input>`	Connect a graph input to a kernel input.
`port <input>`	`port <inout>`	Connect an input of a parent graph to an inout port of a child subgraph or a kernel.
`port <inout> >`	`port <input>`	Connect an inout port of a parent graph or a kernel to an input of another kernel or a subgraph.
`port <inout>`	`port <output>`	Connect an inout port of a subgraph or a kernel to an output of a parent graph.
`parameter&`	`kernel&`	Connect an initialized parameter variable to a kernel ensuring that the compiler allocates space for the variable in the memory around the kernel.
