Abstract

This paper builds upon research by Lee [1] concerning the token flow model, an analytical model for the behavior of dataflow graphs with data-dependent control flow, by analyzing the properties of cycles of the schedule: sequences of actor executions that return the graph to its initial state. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a bounded cyclic schedule, as well as sufficient conditions for execution of the graph in bounded memory. The techniques presented in this paper apply to a more general class of dataflow graphs than existing methods.
