[comp.compilers] portable parallel compilers/tools ??

frost@watop.nosc.mil (Richard Frost) (04/11/91)

I am reviewing strategies for implementing signal processing algorithms
on parallel hardware.  We currently have several platforms available to
us now, but will certainly change (upgrade) hardware 2-3 years down
the development cycle.  Porting software is costly, time consuming, and
most of all: boring from the research point of view.

Recently the Computer Research Group at Livermore Labs announced a
portable development tool for parallel hardware called SISAL.
Do you know of any other such tools which might help with
the problem described above?

Thanks,
