MANAGING DATA FLOWS IN GRAPH-BASED COMPUTATIONS

摘要

Processing data elements associated with a hierarchy that includes multiple levels includes: forming multiple flows of data elements, with each flow being associated with a level of the hierarchy; and including within at least some of the flows hierarchical structure information associated with a level of the hierarchy. For at least one of the levels, two or more and fewer than all of the flows include hierarchical structure information associated with that level.
