Abstract

The MILLIPEDE system is a small yet powerful interface of a virtual parallel machine (VPM) on top of distributed computing environments. MILLIPEDE is thus a convenient environment for porting various existing parallel programming languages, for the design of new parallel programming languages, and for the development of parallel applications. MILLIPEDE is fully implemented at the Technion on a cluster of PCs running Windows-NT. We briefly describe the MILLIPEDE interface and discuss the implementation issues of several parallel languages.
