Today's computer systems are based on control-flow model of
computation which is beset with limitations when exploiting
parallelism. Data-flow model of computation, though parallel in
nature, is plagued with its own bottlenecks. This book provides a
window into an alternative model of computation called associative
dataflow which is expected to usher in a new era of computing in
the years to come. The book describes the associative dataflow
model in comparison with the control-flow and data- flow models of
today and then presents design of a processor which implements this
model in hardware. The design has been simulated and prototyped
using commercially available software tools and shows considerable
improvement in performance compared to currently existing dataflow
machines. It is hoped that this book will kindle renewed interest
among graduate computer science and engineering students,
practicing engineers, and computer architects to propose, improve,
and develop newer models of computation so as to reap maximum
advantage from the recent advances in the integrated circuit
technology.
