Ideograph/ideogram: framework/hardware for eager evaluation

Ideograph integrates data and control dependencies into a unified representation and is used to precisely characterize the concepts of branch prediction and eager evaluation. The Ideogram computer is designed to execute Ideographs. Unlike dataflow computers, The Ideogram computer accepts a 3-address code language called igf. Through igf, Ideographs are constructed and executed by the Ideogram computer at run-time. In this paper, the descriptions of both Ideograph and Ideogram computer are introduced, and the preliminary benchmark results are included.<>
