Data flow accelerator module for general purpose processors

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6042439
This invention is a Data Flow Accelerator Module (DFAM) designed to promote use of parallelism by general purpose processors. The DFAM is a tagged architecture memory module used to accelerate execution of parallel algorithms using small grain computations. The DFAM architecture allows the modularization of software tasks into much finer grains than was previously reasonable, because it drastically reduces the communication and synchronization overheads. 13 figs., 3 tabs.
