Abstract:
The dataflow model formed the basis for a class of parallel programming languages and architectures in the nineteen seventies and eighties. We will describe Jack Dennis’ dataflow model of computation and its variants.
Bio:
Arvind is the Johnson Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at MIT. Arvind’s group, in collaboration with Motorola, built the Monsoon dataflow machines and its associated software in the late eighties. In 2000, Arvind started Sandburst which was sold to Broadcom in 2006. In 2003, Arvind co-founded Bluespec Inc., an EDA company to produce a set of tools for high-level synthesis. Arvind's current research focus is to enable rapid development of embedded systems. Arvind is a
Fellow of IEEE and ACM, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering (USA) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
