Lucid, The Dataflow Programming Language (apic Studies In Data Processing)

William W. Wadge, Edward A. Ashcroft. Includes Index. Bibliography: P. 235-237. Lucid is anew dataflow language, designed to exploit the capabilities of the multi-processor machines which are more powerful than single-processor machines, and require a language in which highly parallel algorithms can be easily expressed. The primary objective of this book is to prove that dataflow is a real alternative to sequential/imperative computing and that dataflow algorithms can be expressed naturally and concisely in Lucid
