Dataflow programming
In a previous post I wrote about how we could do some performance tuning by developing applications suited for parallel execution.
Please pardon my ignorance – but I stumbled upon an article in Dr.Dobb’s – about “Dataflow programming” – which is actually what this is all about! If you would like to learn more on the matter or refresh your knowledge please go read the article – it describes the problem and solution very well. You might also want to read the Wikipedia article on Dataflow programming and the one on Flow-based programming. If you have more time and thirst for this subject please read this article which clarifies why this type of problem solving is suitable for parallel hardware.
