Mixed Synchronous/Asynchronous Control Structures
摘要
This Chapter investigates some paradigms of MIXED SYNCHRONOUS/ASYNCHRONOUS COMPUTATIONS: bulk synchronous parallel and streaming control at various levels of data flow (functional, stateful, nondeterministic, non-systolic, guarded selection). The paradigms are illustrated by neural networks, spreadsheets, the TCP/IP protocol and in Ch.8 by recursive computations.
