CONVENTIONAL STORAGE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC CODE-COPYING DATAFLOW MACHINES.

Many proposed, designed, or built dataflow computers utilize only a single level of physical storage, which is obviously unrealistic for useful machines since practical programs may have large storage requirements. Implementing several levels (e. g. fast semiconductor, mass core and disk), however, generally requires operating systems techniques to manage the storage hierarchy. The authors show that virtual store management techniques used to manage hierarchical stores on conventional machines are equally applicable to code-copying dataflow computers.
