Control token mechanism for sequence dependent instruction execution in a multiprocessor

摘要

A controlled flow parallel computer incorporating a node drive register which designates the location of executable instructions. The node drive register allows instructions to be executed concurrently and non-deterministically without a complex control. Control token locations in the node drive register associated with a given instruction are filled upon the completion of a prior instruction required to be executed before executing that instruction. The instruction is ready for execution once the control token locations are filled.
