A unified resource management and execution control mechanism for data flow machines
Masaru Takesue · 1987
This paper presents a unified resource management and execution control mechanism for data flow machines. The mechanism integrates load control, depth-first execution control, cache memory control and a load balancing mechanism. All of these mechanisms are controlled by such basic information as the number of active state processes, Na. In data flow machines, synchronization among processes is an essential hardware function. Hence, Na can easily be detected by the hardware.
