Abstract :
This paper presents a scalable asynchronous dataflow processor. The main idea of the presented processor architecture is that the processing elements (PEs) are intelligent and can communicate directly with each other. A control element (CE) is used to solve possible conflicts between the data transferring of PEs and to control the execution of the program
