Strand Software Technologies is pleased to announce the availability of STRAND88(TM). Following extensive testing, this is the first full release of the Strand language which is based on STReams and AND parallelism. STRAND88 addresses the needs of programmers who wish to explore the programming challenges posed by the rapidly expanding number of parallel processor hardware types becoming available. The vital difference between STRAND88 and any other parallel processing language is that the same code runs efficiently on single processor machines such as workstations as well as on a growing list of parallel architecture hardware, including both shared memory and distributed memory machines, based on most of the common processor types e.g. Intel 80386, Motorola 68020/30, SUN Sparc, Inmos Transputer and NatSemi 32032. STRAND88 offers the programmer:- * PARALLEL SEMANTICS. * PORTABILITY. * PROTECTION OF INVESTMENT IN EXISTING APPLICATIONS. Requires: Sun 3, Sun 4, System V Unix/80386 Workstations and Atari ATW Transputer Workstation *** Ed's Note: lots of stuff about prices/etc deleted - I'll post brief summaries of new products, but I don't want this to be an advertising forum.
