Dataflow Models for Fault-Tolerant Control Systems

Monsoon: a dataflow computing architecture suitable for intelligent control

“…[14]. The model has also been extended to support high degrees of fault tolerance in the real-time setting [15]. All of these efforts, however, employ dataflow mainly as a specification and analysis tool, while execution is still performed on relatively conventional "coarse-grained" hardware.…”

“…In fact, 1/0 processors (conventional 68030 microcomputers) signal Monsoon processing elements by simply inserting an appropriate token in the system token queue. A real-time clock could emit a periodic stream of tokens [15].…”
