This document gives a succinct description of the facilities available with the Poker Parallel Programming Environment. The emphasis is on what is available rather than how to achieve particular results. Although the sections are self-contained, so that they may be referred to independently, there are a few things to be noted: 1) Poker uses interactive graphics. The graphics are described in Section 2; the interaction is described in Section 3; 2) The usual programming language notion of a source program as a monolithic piece of symbolic text has been replaced in Poker by a data base. The way to create, view, and change the data base is described in Section 4; 3) Object programs (the compiled database) are executed or emulated by Poker and snapshots of the execution can be continuously displayed; 4) Poker supports a variety of CHiP architectures; the current one can be displayed or changed using the CHiP Parameters facility; Section 7; 5) The back page of this document gives a summary of the commands; and 6) Other versions of Poker exists; consult Appendix B for your particular system.
