Abstract: A dataflow machine for generally following data dependent path processes, the machine including an instruction store, an operand store, a plurality of data dependent path process executors, each process executor including an instruction queue and a queue loader associated with the instruction queue and operative to load the instruction queue with instructions selected from the instruction store, wherein the instructions with which the instruction queue is loaded are associated with a dynamically determined data dependent path process and are selected based, at least in part, on an active operand associated with each instruction, the active operand including a result of a previous instruction, and wherein at least some of the instructions are selected based, at least in part, on availability of an outside operand, and wherein the queue loader is operative to read the outside operand from the operand store, execution apparatus operative to sequentially apply each instruction in each instruction queue to at leas
