SISAL
Streams and Iteration in a Single Assignment Language. A general-purpose single assignment {functional programming language} with {strict} semantics, automatic parallelisation and efficient arrays. 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. Implementations exist for Cray X-MP, Cray Y-MP, Cray-2, Sequent, Encore Alliant, dataflow architectures, transputers and systolic arrays. Defined in 1983 by James McGraw et al, {Manchester University}, {Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory}, Colorado State University and DEC. Revised in 1985. First compiled implementation in 1986. Performance superior to C and competitive with Fortran, combined with efficient and automatic parallelisation. Not to be confused with SASL. E-mail: John Feo , Rod Oldehoeft . David C. Cann has written an {Optimising SISAL Compiler (ftp://sisal.llnl.gov/pub/sisal)} (OSC) which attempts to make efficient use of parallel processors such as Crays. Latest version: 12.0, SISAL 1.2.
