Abstract :
A discussion is presented of the merits of data-flow principles as applied to real-time multiprocessing. It also outlines the architecture and characteristics of a practical data-flow multiprocessor, called HyperFlo. The properties of real-time computing are discussed along with a comparison of control flow with data flow. Data flow advantages are outlined. The Hyperflow system is examined as is the Flos operating system and processor hierarchy. The Flos communication structure is examined along with its software.<>
