A Prototype Functional Language Implementation for Hierarchical-Memory Architectures. Revision 1
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
Programming languages are the most important tool at a programmer's disposal. All other tools correct, visualize, or evaluate the product crafted by this tool. The ad vent of multiprocessor computer systems has greatly complicated the programmer's task and increased his need for high-level languages capable of automatically taming these architectures. In this paper, we describe a prototype implementation of Sisal for multiprocessor, hierarchical memory systems. The implementation includes explicit compiler and runtime control that effectively exploits the different levels of memory and manages inter process communications (IPC). We give preliminary performance results for this system on the BBN TC2000.
