Execution of Algorithms Using a Dynamic Dataflow Model for Reconfigurable Hardware - Commands in Dataflow Graph
Vitor Fiorotto Astolfi, Jorge Luiz e Silva · 2007
Many modern scientific and engineering applications such as weather forecast, medical diagnostics, artificial intelligence, and industrial automation, demand increased computational capacity. Actual high-performance architectures are focused on the concepts of parallel processing. One of these architectures is the dataflow model, which explores parallelism in a natural form. This paper describes briefly the dataflow model and its dynamic dataflow graph (DDFG), which is the basic structure to execute dataflow programs. DDFGs of control flow statements used in the C language, such as do-while and switch, are proposed. The results of a "proof-of-concept" for the control flow DDFGs are presented at the end of this paper.
