Abstract

A data flow computer is a highly concurrent and asynchronous multiprocessor due to its fundamentally new architecture. It has no program counter and is not sequential. Instructions execute whenever their operands are available to them. Because of this data-activated instruction execution, multiple instructions can execute concurrently. The project for this thesis was the simulation of a data flow computer. A graph language and machine language were defined; then a simulator was written which reads and executes a machine language program in the asynchronous and concurrent manner of a data flow computer.
