Analysis of Cray-1S architecture
Vason P. Srini, Jorge F. Asenjo · 1983
An analysis of the Cray-1S architecture based on dataflow graphs is presented. The approach consists of representing the components of a Cray-1S system as the nodes of a dataflow graph and the interconnections between the components as the arcs of the dataflow graph. The elapsed time and the resources used in a component are represented by the attributes of the node corresponding to the component. The resulting dataflow graph model is simulated to obtain timing statistics using as input a control stream that represents the instruction and data stream of the real computer system.
