The RMIT Data Flow Computer: A Hybrid Architecture

D. Abramson1 * and G. Egan2 §

1 Division of Information Technology, C.S.I.R.O., 55 Barry St, Carlton, Victoria 3053, Australia, 2 Department of Electrical Engineering, Swinburne Institute of Technology, P.O. Box 218, Hawthorn, 3122, Australia

This paper examines the two convention models of data-flow machines, static and dynamic. The advantages and disadvantages of each scheme are described. A hybrid architecture is presented which gains the advantages of both. This architecture has been incorporated into a new data-flow machine built at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Some simulations are presented which illustrate the advantages of the hybrid approach.

Received November 1987. revised November 1988.
