Binary Modular Dataflow Machine
open-in-new
<p>Binary Modular Dataflow Machine (BMDFM) is a software package that enables running an application in parallel on shared memory <a href="/facts/Symmetric_multiprocessing/T9CahUsN">symmetric multiprocessing</a> (SMP) computers using the multiple processors to speed up the execution of single applications. BMDFM automatically identifies and exploits parallelism due to the static and mainly <i>dynamic scheduling</i> of the <a href="/facts/Dataflow/jea04eH2">dataflow</a> instruction sequences derived from the formerly sequential program. </p><p>The BMDFM dynamic scheduling subsystem performs a <a href="/facts/Symmetric_multiprocessing/T9CahUsN">symmetric multiprocessing</a> (SMP) <a href="/facts/Emulator/FMHE8qDj">emulation</a> of a <i>tagged-token <a href="/facts/Dataflow/jea04eH2">dataflow</a> machine</i> to provide the transparent dataflow semantics for the applications. No directives for parallel execution are needed. </p>
