A single-assignment language in a distributed memory multiprocessor
Abstract
The implementation of the single-assignment programming language SISAL (McGraw et al., 1985) on a Symult 2010 parallel computer is described. The advantages of single-assignment languages over imperative languages in a multiprocessor environment are reviewed; the characteristics of SISAL are summarized; the program-graph generation and dynamic data partitioning procedures are explained; and the application of SISAL in constructing a concurrent iterative multigrid algorithm is discussed in detail and illustrated with diagrams.
