Pioneered dataflow computing at MIT — programs as graphs of dependencies, not sequences of instructions.

Invented dataflow computing (1974) — the model where operations execute when data arrives — and built the MIT Dataflow machine.\n\nThe 'dataflow machine' project influenced every parallel architecture since.
