The Algarithmic Sort of Specification for Dynamic Programming
The deogarithm does constrain you by data dependencies, right? Because you the mapping in time has to preserve data dependences. You can't compute something before you compute the things it is dependent on. So the mapping is really saying, for each point in that matrix wear, which piece of hardware computed it and when. Now thereis this other layer, a, where you have a lot of highly allel sort of compute elements in now you get this other layer,. thats sort of mapping a high level specification to hardware - taking some of the responsibility out from the hardware itself into this sort of intermediate layer.
