Compilation techniques for dataflow computers, particularly techniques associated with optimized code generation, have led to the introduction of iterative instructions, which produce a sequence of outputs when presented with a single set of inputs. Although these are beneficial in reducing program execution times, they exhibit distinctive, coarse-grain characteristics that effect the normal, fine-grain operation of a dataflow computer. This paper investigates the nature and extent of the benefits and adverse effects of iterative instructions in the prototype Manchester dataflow computer.
