ÃTo get high performance on a distributed-memory multicomputer at present and for the foreseeable future, some explicit control is needed. This paper describes work aimed at harnessing the power of the functional notation in exercising such control. We have developed a declarative annotation scheme which allows explicit control over process placement and communications. The language, called Caliban, has been implemented on a con gurable, looselycoupled commercial multicomputer and we describe the compiler and run-time system. Abstract
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
