Data arrival-dependent execution and cycle-based execution #26

Make the two execution modes be configurable.

Oh do you mean the dynamic dataflow like SGMF and static data flow like we've been doing? The dynamic dataflow is awesome but we might replace cache instead of scratchpad memory.

I am not sure people are aligned with the definition of "dynamic dataflow". Plz educate me during our 1:1.

Our design heavily rely on the "predicate", which might be similar to the "token" in dataflow.
The design is orthogonal to memory architecture/structure/hierarchy. The motivation actually comes from the memory access is not fixed (or statically/compilation-time known).
