Abstract :
Processor performance limitations that can be solved by data-flow processing are discussed. Data-flow-based software and multiprocessors are considered. A data-driven, 32-bit, five-chip set that performs real-time signal and distributed parallel processing without a system clock or centralized control unit is presented. Language processing and processor applications are examined.<>
