ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes some issues concerning list processing under a data flow control environment from the viewpoint of parallelism and also presents a new type of list-processing-oriented data flow machine, based on an association memory and logic-in-memory.
The mechanism of partial execution in each function is shown by example to be effective in exploiting the parallelism in list processing. The lenient cons mechanism is shown to exploit maximally parallelism among activated functions.
