This paper examines the two convention models of data-flow machines, static and dynamic. The advantages and disadvantages of each scheme are described. A hybrid architecture is presented which gains the advantages of both. This architecture has been incorporated into a new data-flow machine built at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Some simulations are presented which illustrate the advantages of the hybrid approach.
