A New Computer Programming Language for the Parallel Processing Environments

Abstract

A new high-level, high-order computer programming language designed to complement multi-processor, parallel computing systems is presented, These systems permit a high-order of operation by performing many instructions simultaneously, thus producing significant increases in computing The proposed language is so constructed as to give the user a free and natural format, to express problems which exhibit natural or inherent parallelism® In order to demonstrate some of the main features, a small subset of the language has been written, and implemented as a sequential simulation. In order to relate the language to hardware schemes, a parallel processing array computer is briefly examined. A core language to communicate with parallel computing systems may be constructed from the concepts developed.
