Loslan implementation of the AMPL message-passing system
Abstract
AMPL is an asynchronous message-passing scheme developed at CMU, and Loslan is a universal, Simula-based programming language worked out at the Warsaw University. The paper presents a straightforward implementation of AMPL in Loslan, profiting from the generalized prefixing mechanism of the latter. The method of controlling the communicating processes by handling the so-called awaited condition trees is applicable to other asynchronous message-passing systems.

Pipeline implementation of cellular automata for structural design on message-passing multiprocessors
The inherent structure of cellular automata is trivially parallelizable and can directly benefit from massively parallel machines in computationally intensive problems. This paper presents both block synchronous and block pipeline (with asynchronous ...
