I'm designing an interpeter that runs on several processors in a distributed environment. That is, instead of the interpreter being one monolithic controlling program, the interpreter(s) is/are actually several pieces spread around a number of processors all interacting with each other, giving you real parallelism instead of quasi-parallelism (among other things). This idea appears to be relatively unusual, in that I haven't seen it described before. So does anybody know of anything similar? In particular I'm looking for references for any similar systems, for any language. --tim budd, budd@cs.orst.edu
