Task System and Item Architecture (TSIA)
- Practical Graph Reduction

For  a  computer application, a transparent execution is  one  not
visible to the application. Instead, the execution is managed by a
system external to the application.

Graph reduction (also known as dataflow) long has been a model for
transparent application execution. Given graph reduction, a system
for transparent parallelism, reliability or other execution can be
implemented. Unfortunately, graph reduction itself has not  had  a
practical implementation.

The Task System and Item Architecture (TSIA) is a recent practical
model  of graph reduction. Close ancestors are ALICE and the early
versions of Cilk.
