METHOD OF CONTROLLING EXECUTION OF A DATA FLOW PROGRAM AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

A plurality of data packets flow into a data driven type information processor when a program is executed. These data packets each queue for a data packet to be paired therewith in a matching memory in the information processor. Among these data packets, data packets which store instruction information executable in parallel are designated to have different address spaces in the matching memory for queuing data packets to be paired therewith, and therefore collision due to competition in accessing on the matching memory is avoided, thereby increasing processing speed.
