Dataflow computation models enable simpler and more efficient management of the memory hierarchy - a key barrier to the performance of many parallel programs. This paper describes...
This paper discusses highly general mechanisms for specifying the refinement of a real-time system as a collection of lower level parallel components that preserve the timing and f...
