  abstract = {The Threaded Abstract Machine (TAM) refines dataflow
     execution models to address the critical constraints that modern
     parallel architectures place on the compilation of
     general-purpose parallel programming languages. TAM defines a
     self-scheduled machine language of parallel threads, which
     provides a path from dataflow-graph program representations to
     conventional control flow. The most important feature of TAM is
     the way it exposes the interaction between the handling of
     asynchronous message events, the scheduling of computation, and
     the utilization of the storage hierarchy. This paper provides a
     complete description of TAM and codifies the model in terms of a
     pseudo machine language TL0. Issues in compilation from a high
     level parallel language to TL0 are discussed in general and
     specifically in regard to the Id90 language. The implementation
     of TL0 on the CM-5 multiprocessor is explained in detail. Using
     this implementation, a cost model is developed for the various
     TAM primitives. The TAM approach is evaluated on sizable Id90
     programs on a 64 processor system. The scheduling hierarchy of
     quanta and threads is shown to provide substantial locality while
     tolerating long latencies. This allows the average thread
     scheduling cost to be extremely low.},
