Parallel architectures: Cache memories for dataflow systems
Ali R. Hurson, Krishna M. Kavi, Behrooz Shirazi, Ben Lee · IEEE Parallel & Distributed Technology Systems & Applications · 1996
Cache memory — so effective in traditional control-flow architecture — has the potential to enhance dataflow system performance as well. The authors explore the recent trend in combining dataflow and control-flow processing, which offers new alternatives in computer architecture design, and analyze cache memory's application to the dataflow environment.
