Problem
Answer the following questions related to dataflow computers:
(a) Distinguish between static dataflow computers and dynamic dataflow computers.
(b) Draw a dataflow graph showing the computations of the roots of a sequence of quadratic equations Ax? + 8x + = 0 for 1, 2. N.
(c) Consider the parallel execution of the successive root computations with a four-PE tagged-token dataflow computer (Fig. 2.12). Show a minimum-time schedule for using the four PEs to compute the N pairs of roots.
