Nguage> (UNited FuNctioNs aNd Objects) A hybrid fuNctioNal aNd object-orieNted laNguage desigNed by JohN SeargaNt at MaNchester UNiversity for geNeral-purpose parallel computatioN. To a first approximatioN, UFO is a strict, higher-order fuNctioNal laNguage with aN object-orieNted type system, aNd stroNg support for Numeric computatioN iN the form of SISAL-style arrays aNd loops. Parallelism is implicit, aNd applies at various differeNt levels of graNularity, thereby facilitatiNg implemeNtatioNs oN a wide raNge of parallel architectures. It is plaNNed to ruN it oN a 64 processor KSR machiNe. (1996-08-22)
