BMDFM

BMDFM (Binary Modular DataFlow Machine) is software that enables running an application in parallel on shared memory symmetric multiprocessors (SMP) using the multiple processors to speed up the execution of single applications. BMDFM automatically identifies and exploits parallelism due to the static and mainly dynamic scheduling of the data flow instruction sequences derived from the formerly sequential program ensuring parallel correctness. No directives for parallel execution are required, and no parallel programmers are required.

The BMDFM dynamic scheduling subsystem performs a SMP emulation of Tagged-Token DFM to provide the transparent dataflow semantics for the applications.

Every machine supporting ANSI C and shmctl()/semctl() UNIX SVR4 IPC calls may run BMDFM. BMDFM provides an already compiled fully multithreaded version for: Intel / Linux / 32bit, Intel / FreeBSD / 32bit, IA-64 / Linux / 64bit, AMDx86-64 / Linux / 64bit, Alpha / Tru64 OSF1 / 64bit, Alpha / Linux / 64bit, Alpha / FreeBSD / 64bit, PA-RISC / HP-UX / 32bit, PA-RISC / HP-UX / 64bit, SPARC / SunOS / 32bit, SPARC / SunOS / 64bit, MIPS / IRIX / 32bit, MIPS / IRIX / 64bit, RS6000 / AIX / 32bit, RS6000 / AIX / 64bit, PowerPC / MacOS / 32bit, Intel / Win32-SFU, Intel / Win32-UWIN and a limited singlethreaded version for Intel / Win32.
