BIDM.Asset.TitleLine data parallel programming language for machine-independent SIMD programming, based on Modula-2 META
BIDM.Asset.Abstract Parallaxis is a structured programming language for data-parallel programming (SIMD systems), developed by Thomas Brunl in 1989. The language is based on sequential Modula-2, but extended by machine-independent parallel constructs. In Parallaxis an abstraction is achieved by declaring a processor configuration in functional form, specifying number, arrangement, and connections between processors. With these virtual processors and connections, an application program can be constructed independent of the actual computer hardware. META

BIDM.Asset.TargetEnvironment The sequential version runs on almost all Unix systems: Sun SPARCstation (SUN-OS, Solaris), DECstation, HP 9000, IBM RS6000, SGI Iris, IBM-PC with linux. There are parallel versions for MasPar MP-1, MP-2, Workstations clusters (using PVM) and Intel Paragon (SPMD mode). META
