Summary :

A data-flow program net is a graph representation of data-flow programs consisting of three types of nodes, AND-node, OR-node and SWITCH-node, which represent arithmetic/logical, data merge and context switch operations respectively. Minimum firing (completion) time T of a program net is an important element in computing parallel degree PARAdeg residing in a data-flow program and is defined as the minimum time when the program net is executed by enough many processors. In this paper, we propose algorithms to efficiently compute T by contracting AND-nodes generally for self-cleaning SWITCH-less program nets with arbitrary node firing time and give the experimental results of the algorithms to show the efficiency.
