Abstract
A data flow processor is a computer in which instructions are data driven and enabled for execution by the arrival of their operands. Data flow processors execute data flow programs, normally represented as program graphs, which represent the data dependencies between operations. This thesis presents a machine language instruction set for a Form 1 data flow machine based on the Dennis-Misunas design.
