Limits to the Reliability of Asynchronous Digital Parallel Computers

Limits to the Reliability of Asynchronous Digital Parallel Computers David J. Jefferies and Mike J. Underhill
Abstract
	The need for deterministic behaviour in all computing machines is questioned. Processes giving rise to indeterminism in asynchronous parallel digital machines (sometimes called "data flow machines") are identified and the scale of the problem is estimated. Structures of indeterministic machines are considered in the light of the uses to which they might be put.
