Title: Tagged token dataflow architecture

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5258727

The demand for large-scale multiprocessor systems has been substantial for many years. The technology for fabrication of such systems is available, but attempts to extend traditional architectures to this context have met with only mild success. The authors hold that fundamental aspects of the Von Neumann architecture prohibit its extension to multiprocessor systems; they pose dataflow architectures as an alternative. These two approaches are contrasted on issues of synchronization, memory latency, and the ability to share data without constraining parallelism. 12 references.
