Dataflow is the most efficient Computational Paradigm. Jack Dennis,
the father of Dataflow has defined it as "A Scheme of Computation in
which an activity is initiated by presence of the data it needs to
perform its function".
New ways of exploiting this principle are nowadays available. In terms
of programming models we see at least:
OmpSs, OpenStream, DDM-TFLUX, DataFlow-Scala, SWARM, just to name a few.
Start-ups like CAPS, MAXELER, are also making available powerful
dataflow based technologies.
How effective are those technologies? Is there a clear winner?
Panel in MULTIPROG, HiPEAC - 21st January 2012 16:00 - Berlin, Germany
The MULTIPROG workshop http://multiprog.ac.upc.edu/ is hosting a panel organized
by the TERAFLUX coordinator (Prof. Roberto Giorgi)
Dataflow is the most efficient Computational Paradigm. Jack Dennis, the father of Dataflow has defined it as "A Scheme of Computation in which an activity is initiated by presence of the data it needs to perform its function".
Avi Mendelson presented TERAFLUX project at the Second International Workshop on Future Architectural Support for Parallel Programming (FASPP'12) - June 10, 2012 in Portland, OR, USA.
TERAFLUX project has a new partner: University of Delaware represented by Guang Gao, distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The reviewers called Gao "a world-class scientist whose work is highly complementary to the existing project consortium".
