Dynamic <strong>Dataflow</strong> Architectures<br />
• Allocate instruction templates, i.e., a frame,<br />
dynamically to support each loop iteration<br />
and procedure call<br />
– termination detection needed to deallocate frames<br />
• The code can be shared if we separate <strong>the</strong><br />
code and <strong>the</strong> operand storage<br />
a token<br />
