"An anomaly found during the implementation of a 2-dimensional dataflow editor for constructing dataflow graphs in NAKL: not another keypunch language" pp21-23 view details Abstract: NAKL is a two dimensional dataflow (dfg) notation which can not be implemented on keypunches (nor on keypunch simulators). The design and implementation of NAKL is an ongoing project. [4] NAKL's 2-dimeasional dfg editor is a first step towards a parallel programming laboratory. Subsequent steps will use the dfg editor in the implementation of the parallel programming laboratory. Using NAKL's dfg editor, a dfg was constructed which promises anomalous behavior. The dfg is presented to warn others of the phenomenon. No algorithms or techniques are known which will prevent the anomalous behavior. DOI
