This paper presents the evaluation of a non-blocking,  decoupled/memory execution, multithreaded architecture known as the Scheduled Dataflow (SDF). Our research explores a simple, yet powerful execution paradigm that is based on non-blocking threads, and decoupling of memory accesses from execution pipeline. This paper compares the execution cycles required for programs on SDF with the execution cycles required by programs on Superscalar and VLIW architectures.
