A distributed memory multiprocessor based on dataflow synchronization

A description is given of the design of a multiprocessor with innovative fundamental concepts in the code-executing hardware and distributed memory management. The coarse-grain data-flow architecture presented is a fusion of data-flow and von Neumann concepts. A code generator for the single-assignment language SISAL has been implemented and is used to benchmark the multiprocessor. A review of the project ADAM is followed by experimental results.<
