No, YOU would not want it. I think it's far to early in the parallel programming game to restrict our options by saying 'we don't want to do X because...' - let someone try X and see if it works. I don't know if it's possible to develop a reasonable language which will work well on a wide variety of parallel architectures, but we're certainly not going to create such a beast by making the language reflect a particular architecture! -- Jon Leech (jon@csvax.caltech.edu || ...seismo!cit-vax!jon) Caltech Computer Science Graphics Group __@/
