Abstract
Dataflow computation models enable simpler and more efficient management of the memory hierarchy - a key barrier to the performance of many parallel programs. This paper enumerates some advantages of using the dataflow model; it argues that the programming model is simple and easily managed by a programmer and demonstrates some of the efficiencies that the dataflow model allows an underlying run-time system to achieve
