A few days ago I read about PAX (parallel architecture extended)
by Alliant.
Is this really a combination of HW and SW features (i860+ concurrency
control instruction set plus a Unix System V extension+ PHIGS+
automatic parallelization of Fortran and C)? Will it become a standard?
If I get detailed information and if there enough interest I'll
summerize to the net.
