ABSTRACT:
Flow graph related program segments having cyclic paths therethrough are efficiently processed on a SIMD machine by priority ordering the segments, selectively inserting ELSE/JOIN instructions as steps prior to enforcing the ordering when the network of program segments is executed on a SIMD machine.
