Coroutine Synchronization in AVS

The current AVS flow executive provides only limited mechanisms for coroutine synchronization: either they run completely synchronously with the entire network or completely asynchronously. In many real-time applications, responding to user interaction or to real-time sensors (live camera input), finer-grained synchronization control is needed. This paper presents a token-based handshaking scheme which can be instantiated at runtime between any subgroups of modules and coroutines, allowing users to define control flow in the network, as well as data flow.     «
