Control flow computer using mode and node driving registers for dynamically switching between parallel processing and emulation of von neuman processors

摘要

A parallel processing computer comprises at least a memory for storing program as well as data and instructions for executing the program, a plurality of functional units, a node driving register for indicating executable instructions which are allowed to be executed by the functional units, and a mode register giving information to the functional unit as to whether the processing to be executed is of serial nature or parallel nature.
