 === Data Dependency Tasks Executor (aka MDF) === === Data Dependency Tasks Executor (aka MDF) ===
  
-TBD+The data-flow programming model is a general approach to parallelization 
 +based upon data dependencies among a program'​s operations. The computations is expressed 
 +by the data-flow graph, i.e. a DAG whose nodes are instructions and arcs are pure data dependencies. 
 +If instead of simple instructions,​ portions of code (sets of instructions or functions) are used as graph'​s nodes, then it is called the macro data-flow model (MDF). It is worth noting that, the data-flow programming model is able to work both on stream of values and on a single value. ​
  
-=== Some valid combinations of pipeline and farm (and feedback) ===+As an example, considering the [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Strassen_algorithm |Strassen'​s algorithm]] described by the following sequence of instructions operating on (sub-)matrices : 
 + 
 +S1 = A11 + A22; S2 = B11 + B22; S3 = A21 + A22; S4 = B12 - B22; S5 = B21 - B11;  
 +S6 = A11 + A12; S7 = A21 - A11; S8 = B11 + B12; S9 = A12 - A22; S10 = B21 + B22; 
 +P1 = S1 * S2; P2 = S3 * B11; P3 = A11 * S4; P4 = A22 * S5; P5 = S6 * B22; P6 = S7 * S8; P7  = S9*S10 
 +C11 = P1 + P4 - P5 + P7; C12 = P3 + P5; C21 = P2 + P4; C22 = P1 - P2 + P3 + P6; 
 + 
 +the resulting DAG is sketched in the following figure: 
 +{{:​ffnamespace:​strassen.png?​300|}} 
 + 
 +The DAG's instructions can be executed in parallel simply respecting data dependencies.
