PRESTO, an environment for writing object-oriented parallel programs in the C++ programming language, is now available on the Internet. PRESTO provides the programmer with a set of pre-defined object types that simplify the construction of parallel programs. PRESTO runs on Sequent Symmetry DYNIX 3.0 and VAX ULTRIX 2.0. PRESTO is written in C++. We provide PRESTO source code, documentation, and some simple programs written on top of PRESTO. You must provide a C++ translator on your own. The following should get you started. As usual, please try to avoid the peak load hours of the computers and nets involved. ftp june.cs.washington.edu (128.95.1.4) anonymous (your username) cd pub type binary get presto.tar.Z bye ls -l presto.tar.Z (should be 213581 bytes) sum presto.tar.Z (should be 15573 209) uncompress presto.tar.Z tar xvf presto.tar You can read more about PRESTO in ACM SIGPLAN PPEALS (July 1988) and Software -- Practice & Experience (August 1988).

This is perhaps a silly question, but would PRESTO be instructive for owners of the ZORTECH C++ compiler for the PC? Of course, one couldn't actually DO parallel processing on a PC without a transputer board, but I'd like to fool around with it anyway. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FidoNet: 1:204/444 UUCP: ...!sun!sunncal!mailcom!bernard INTERNET: f444.n204.z1.Fidonet.org US MAIL: Bernard Aboba, 101 First St. #224, Los Altos, CA 94022
