The EPSILON-2 hybrid dataflow architecture
EPSILON-2 is a general parallel computer architecture that combines the fine grain parallelism of dataflow computing with the sequential efficiency common to von Neumann computing. Instruction level synchronization, single cycle context switches, and RISC-like sequential efficiency are all supported in EPSILON-2. The general parallel computing model of EPSILON-2 is described, followed by a description of the processing element architecture. A sample code is presented in detail, and the progress of the physical implementation discussed. 11 refs., 14 figs.
