SISAL(ID:1057/sis003)

Streams and Iteration in a Single Assignment Language 

alternate simple view
Country: United Kingdom
Designed 1983
Published: 1983

Streams and Iteration in a Single Assignment Language. James McGraw et al, U Manchester, Lawrence Livermore, DEC and CSU 1983.

Single assignment language with strict semantics, automatic parallelization, efficient execution. Outputs a dataflow graph in IF1 (Intermediary Form 1). Derived from VAL, adds recursion and finite streams. Pascal-like syntax. Designed to be a common high-level language for numerical programs on a variety of multiprocessors.
