+A dataflow computer (see for instance "Monsoon: ..." by Papadopoulos
+and Culler in ISCA 90) is designed to execute efficiently dataflow
+graphs typically expressed in a functional language (for instance ID).
+iWARP is programmed in C or W2 using low latency communication

I think what he meant to say was that the iWARP was designed as a
building block for systolic arrays. Which it was/is.
