Abstract
In this paper we present a new language, called ParCeL-1, intended to make easier the implementation of computation-intensive and artificial intelligence applications on highly parallel MIMD architectures. The computational model of ParCeL-1 is object-oriented and synchronous, based on virtual processors called cells that compute and communicate alternately. The current prototype is implemented on several multi-processor systems (Cray T3D, Intel Paragon, Telmat T-Node, workstation networks using PVM, and SGI Power Challenge Array). Several applications written in ParCeL-1 are described, together with their performances obtained on a 256-processor Cray T3D.
