TSIA: A Dataflow Model

TL;DR

TSIA is a dataflow model that enables transparent, reliable, and adaptive application execution across distributed and heterogeneous systems, extending traditional dataflow concepts with new semantics and support for input/output and modifiable items.

Contribution

This paper introduces TSIA, a novel dataflow model that enhances transparency, flexibility, and support for complex effects in application execution.

Findings

TSIA provides transparent parallel execution for diverse applications.

It supports input/output and modifiable items within the dataflow model.

TSIA's semantics are simplified and extend traditional dataflow capabilities.

Abstract

The Task System and Item Architecture (TSIA) is a model for transparent application execution. In many real-world projects, a TSIA provides a simple application with a transparent reliable, distributed, heterogeneous, adaptive, dynamic, real-time, parallel, secure or other execution. TSIA is suitable for many applications, not just for the simple applications served to date. This presentation shows that TSIA is a dataflow model - a long-standing model for transparent parallel execution. The advances to the dataflow model include a simple semantics, as well as support for input/output, for modifiable items and for other such effects.
