Title: From determinacy to systaltic arrays

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Comput.; (United States)

In this paper the authors extend a model for parallel computation. They show that the extended model is deterministic, in the sense that under different scheduling regimes each process in the computation consumes the same input and generates the same output. Moreover, if the computation halts, the final state is independent of scheduling. The model is applied to the generation of precedence graphs, from which lower time bounds may be deduced, and to the synchronization of systolic arrays by local rather than global control.
