Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: dinucci@nas.nasa.gov (David C. DiNucci) Subject: Re: Large Grain Data-Flow Organization: NAS - NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA Date: Tue, 29 Nov 1994 19:36:56 GMT Message-ID: [snip] I have some references below about the original LGDF (aka LGDF1) and the follow-on, LGDF2 (aka F-Nets). The most recent, full explanation of LGDF1 would probably be that in the Characteristics of Parallel Algorithms book. I may have missed some of the more recent articles (I think one was published in a VAPP conference in 1991 or so). You can also find my 1991 dissertation on F-Nets (Babb was thesis advisor) using anonymous ftp at ftp.netcom.com pub/di/dinucci/thesis.ps.Z Dave ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------LGDF (aka LGDF1) %A Robert G.
