Abstract

In complex systems, the arrival of data to a computation component is difficult to predict. A method of synchronizing the initiation of computation with the reception of its input data is disclosed. The method allows the input data and computation initiation commands to arrive in any order. The method is dynamically adjustable allowing for varying numbers of data inputs.
