Abstract

In this research, we propose a general model for computer architectures. This model allows us to integrate some of the existing system architecture approaches for increasing computer capacity and indicates new possibilites for improving the cost/performance ratio of future computer systems. The model leads to the development of general purpose data flow machines and to different degrees of sophistication within these machines. Our fundamental approach is to separate the CPU into elementary components. This allows us to make a distinction between components for control and components for performing various processing functions, thus yielding a high degree of resource sharing.
