Abstract
As the level of interface between software and hardware is continuously shifting, the requirement for standard points of reference becomes increasingly important. TOOL is an intermediate-level parallel language aspiring to meet this requirement by establishing a common target for compilation of a wide range of high-level object-oriented languages and also, of process-oriented languages. TOOL exhibits the major object-oriented features, including data abstraction, multiple inheritance and dynamic binding. In addition, parallelism, although inherent in the computational model, is further supported by providing: (a) asynchronous message passing and synchronization mechanisms, (b) support for “autonomous” objects (ie. permanently active), and (c) special facilities for object allocation and migration.
