Some time ago I saw the answer to this question but did not save the
message.  I am now at the stage where it is needed :')

I have heard of the underlying data scheme behind such packages as
AVS and IRIS Explorer as being called "coarse-grained data flow" and
the previous message (mentioned above) had references to a PhD thesis
from MIT (if my memory serves correctly) by an author who went on to
Evans and Sutherland to continue the research.  The message also mentioned
several other references for this subject.

Does anyone know of any references to this data flow scheme?
Am I correct in terming these packages "coarse-grained data flow"?
If not can anyone point me to references that do describe the
underlying structure for these packages?

Any help would be appreciated.
