Abstract
Processing a dataflow program by a program development tool includes analyzing an actor defined by the dataflow program to identify original sequences of actions that can be reformulated to achieve greater execution parallelism while maintaining the same functionality as the original sequences. A processed dataflow program is produced comprising processed dataflow program instructions and decision point program instructions. The processed dataflow program instructions comprise alternative sequences of reformulated actions that achieve greater execution parallelism while maintaining the same functionality as the identified one or more original sequences. The decision point program instructions direct processing equipment to select and execute one or more of the alternative sequences of reformulated actions, wherein selection is based on state and token information in existence at the time of selection. When more than one alternative sequence can be selected, selection of sequence with highest parallelism is preferred.
