[comp.sys.sequent] Modula-2 for Sequent Symmetry boxes

gt0818a%prism@gatech.edu (Paul E. Robichaux) (03/22/90)

A team of undergrads here is gearing up to produce a Modula-2 compiler for
the Sequent Symmetry system. Nifty features planned for eventual implementation
include:
		* Full Modula-2 implementation
		* Tools and language constructs for highly parallel programs
		* Retargetable (might be a while) backend
		* Interface with other DYNIX language systems/tools

Before we get too much deeper into this project, we're actively soliciting
information on existing or planned Modula-2 implementations for this machine.
(The goal is to build a small subset of Modula-2 and use it to bootstrap
the entire compiler.) If some compilers already exist, then we'll find 
another target machine.

If there's sufficient interest, I will post a summary of replies.

Thanks,
-Paul
