Dataflow architecture: Difference between revisions

Although no commercially successful general-purpose computer hardware has used a dataflow architecture, it has been successfully implemented in specialized hardware such as in [[digital signal processing]], [[network routing]], [[graphics processing]], [[telemetry]], and more recently in data warehousing, and [[artificial intelligence]] (as: polymorphic dataflow<ref>{{Cite news |last=Maxfield |first=Max |date=24 December 2020 |title=Say Hello to Deep Vision's Polymorphic Dataflow Architecture |work=Electronic Engineering Journal |publisher=Techfocus media}}</ref> Convolution Engine,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://kinara.ai/<!-- Prior: https://deepvision.io/ --> |title=Kinara (formerly Deep Vision) |author=<!-- Unstated --> |date=2022 |website=Kinara |access-date=2022-12-11}}</ref> structure-driven,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hailo.ai/ |title=Hailo |author=<!-- Unstated --> |date=<!-- Undated --> |website=Hailo |access-date=2022-12-11}}</ref> dataflow [[Scheduling (computing)|scheduling]]<ref>{{Cite report |last=Lie |first=Sean |date=29 August 2022 |url=https://www.cerebras.net/blog/cerebras-architecture-deep-dive-first-look-inside-the-hw/sw-co-design-for-deep-learning |title=Cerebras Architecture Deep Dive: First Look Inside the HW/SW Co-Design for Deep Learning |website=Cerebras}}</ref>). It is also very relevant in many software architectures today including [[database]] engine designs and [[parallel computing]] frameworks.{{Citation needed|date=March 2015}}

 

 

Meanwhile, there is a clash of terminology, since the term ''[[dataflow]]'' is used for a subarea of parallel programming: for [[dataflow programming]].
