Graph Application Categories
Most flow graphs fall into one of two categories:
- Data flow graphs. In this type of graph, data is passed along the graph's edges. The nodes receive, transform and then pass along the data messages.
- Dependence graphs. In this type of graph, the data operated on by the nodes is obtained through shared memory directly and is not passed along the edges.
