Dynamic languages have become popular for scientific computing. They are generally considered highly productive, but lacking in performance. This paper presents Julia, a new dynamic language for technical computing, designed for performance from the beginning by adapting and extending modern programming language techniques. A design based on generic functions and a rich type system simultaneous...

A coordination style programming language, T-Cham, is proposed. It is based on the paradigm of the chemical abstract machine (Cham) and transaction programming paradigm. Hierarchical tuple spaces, where the \molecules" of the Cham reside, are used to coordinate the concurrent transactions, which could be written in any language, such as C, Pascal, or Fortran etc., even T-Cham itself, as long as...

Programming SIMD arrays in languages such as C or FORTRAN is difficult and although work on automatic parallelizing programs has achieved much, it is far from satisfactory. In particular, almost all ‘fully’ automatic parallelizing compilers place fundamental restrictions on the input language. Alternatively OpenMP provides an approach to parallel programming that supports incremental improvemen...

High-level data-parallel languages such as Vienna Fortran and High Performance Fortran (HPF) have been introduced to allow the programming of massively parallel distributed-memory machines at a relatively high level of abstraction, based on the Single-Program-Multiple-Data (SPMD) paradigm. Their main features include mechanisms for expressing the distribution of data across the processors of a ...

The language Vector C is a superset of the conventional (scalar) programming language C with extensions to facilitate vector processing. In tbis paper, a methodology 'for performing language cJ:tensions and the language features of Vector C arc presented. The implementation of Vcctor C on the Cyber 205 is nearing completion. Some empirical data arc presented which demonstrate that Vector C can ...

1. INTRODUCTION Computer programs for numerical solution of partial diierential equations are traditionally coded in the FORTRAN programming language. The computational intensive parts of such programs, either they are based on the nite element (FE) method or some other numerical procedure, consist mainly of various vector and matrix operations. FORTRAN has therefore been regarded as the best c...

Co-array Fortran (CAF) is an emerging model for scalable, global address space parallel programming that consists of a small set of extensions to the Fortran 90 programming language. Compared to MPI, the widely-used messagepassing programming model, CAF’s global address space programming model simplifies the development of single-program-multiple-data parallel programs by shifting the burden fo...
