Anti machine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computer science the Anti machine, the basic machine paradigm for Reconfigurable Computing (for more details see Xputer), is the counterpart of the von Neumann machine. The anti machine is data-stream-driven and is sequenced by means of data counters, whereas the von Neumann machine, controlled by a program counter, is instruction-stream-driven. The anti machine usually has multiple data counters - in contrast to von Neumann, which can have only a single program counter. The data counters are located within Auto-sequencing memory blocks. Instead of a CPU an anti machine has a DPU,
