Abstract

Data now (DF) architecture resulting from the DF program representation by the functional language being developed at the Department of Computers and Informatics is proposed in the paper. The contribution is concentrated to the efficient implementation of functional language in the DF architecture supporting the idea of the programming parallel problems by specification and transformation using mathematical methods. The combination of a local control flow with a global data flow model in the proposed DF architecture is connected with the direct operand matching mechanism using matching vectors. The concepts of the data flow graph representation using the functional language, the approaches to the parallel execution of the functional program in the data now implementational environment and the DF architecture layout are presented in the paper. It is supposed that the hardware implementation of the architecture can be used as a specialised accelerator in problem-oriented computer systems with high requirements on the operation speed
