  abstract =     "Most computer architecture courses are geared toward
                 the classical von Neumann style of computer
                 architectures, mentioning only in passing other models
                 such as data flow computation. This is unfortunate, due
                 to the high degree of parallelism possible using data
                 flow. We present an alternative course, designed as an
                 elective in computer architecture for upper level
                 undergraduate or graduate students, that presents a
                 side-by-side comparison of von Neumann and data flow
                 architectures. Our teaching environment is based on
                 Simple Arithmetic SISAL (SAS), a subset of the
                 applicative programming language SISAL, which we
                 designed for both teaching about and research into data
                 flow architectures. SAS runs in a highly integrated
                 environment, allowing students to implement their
                 program on a von Neumann architecture, then observe its
                 execution through a data flow simulator. The
                 environment runs on a standard IBM-style personal
                 computer, providing a cost-effective platform for
                 presenting the course.",
