Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This is a proposal to build a set of architecturally neutral tools, based on occam, that support the design, implementation, optimisation and maintenance of high-performance applications. Systems constructed with these tools will be portable across all current and currently foreseen (MIMD) parallel computing platforms, where they will operate with high levels of efficiency.This programme is partly motivated by fears shared by all partners in the consortium - particularly the industrial partners - that the engineering and commercial benefits previously enjoyed through the use of occam on transputer-based platforms will be denied to them in the future unless the language is opened to the wider parallel computing community. The positive motivation arises from occam being the only parallel-processing language in widespread industrial and academic use whose semantics is sufficient will-defined, simple and powerful to play this unifying role.
