Abstract: “This survey examines thirty-five parallel programming languages and fifty-nine parallel programming tools. It focuses on tool capabilities needed for writing parallel scientific programs, not on features that explore general computer science issues. The tools are classified based on their functions and ranked with current and future needs of NAS in mind: in particular, existing and anticipated NAS supercomputers and workstations, operating systems, programming languages, and applications. The report is designed to give readers a quick grasp of the tool features, and provides tables to compare their main functions.”
Given yesterday’s discussion. I thought some of you might find a survey of parallel languages interesting to see how they handled stuff. This one gives some summaries of 30+ languages from a period where a lot of research was happening. There haven’t been many that survived mostly imho since they didn’t build on popular things, be open/cheap enough, etc. Googling on this stuff might give people ideas, though.
