Abstract: The Augsburg structure-oriented computer architecture (ASTOR) describes the architecture of an asynchronous multiprocessor system at an abstract level. The main design goal is to model modern concepts of programming. Different special-purpose processing units are used for the execution of program flow control constructs. A special-purpose processing unit executes a program flow control construct named dependency, which allows the specification of parallel execution by some sort of Petri net.
Keywords: program control; computer architecture; ASTOR; control structure; control construct dependency; parallel execution.
