+    - Non streaming DFG: The host provides all data items required for execution of the DFG at the time of the launch.
+    - Streaming DFG: No data is provided by the launch operation. Streaming execution is sustained by push and pop operations, described below.
 - **Push**:
-Push a set of data required for one graph execution to the specified DFG. The DFG must have been launched using a streaming launch operation. This is a blocking operation.
