[net.ai] Programming in Parallel and/or with Vectorization -- request

west@sdcsla.UUCP (Larry West) (05/19/85)

I would appreciate any pointers to documentation, instructional
material, or research on this somewhat vague collection of topics:

	1) How to program common languages (e.g.: C, Fortran, Lisp, APL)
	   to take advantage of parallelism and/or vectorization;
	 
	2) How to decompose problems [even in specific domains]
	   into parallel sub-problems;
    
	3) How can a single user best make use of the Cray X-MP?

	4) What well-known (old) or well-designed (new) language(s) are
	   best for parallel- and/or vector-programming?

	5) How to teach/present the above.

The pointers can be to bibliographies, to published papers (technical
or "popular"), to people, or to something you've just got sitting out
on disk.

Needless to say, please reply via electronic mail;  one of the addresses
below just might work.   If anything interesting shows up, I'll post
a summary to the net.

Thanks in advance...
