 | | Dataflow programming studies began in the 1970s, as the limits of von Neuman (normal) computers were found: such systems use an inherent control-driven programming model. |
 | | Dataflow models are alternative to, and different from this, and are much studied and researched in many areas of basic computer science: computation models, programming languages, machine architecture, compilers, parallelism. |
 | | Many early dataflow researchers thought dataflow would become a new and general model of computing, able to exploit all parallel aspects extant in general purpose programs, and that it would enable developing high-level languages where programmers need not manage all details of efficient program and data mapping on parallel machines. |
