Rolla* - A new style of programming is needed to meet the increased demands of computational speed. A software system based on dataflow and designed to use parallelism in future architectures is envisioned. The language model is designed so that any algorithm can be easily communicated to both man and machine. The basic entity of the model is that of units which are interconnected by a series of data paths like pipes. A unit is any process, file or device capable of consuming or supplying data. Consuming and supplying pairs are categorized by the type of flow of data between units. A notation has been developed to express the dataflow graphs which exposes the parallel nature of the model. Ports, index numbers and process names allow an unambiguous representation of the graphs and support nesting to any level. Further research is being done in the area of unit description and dataflow control. |
