Abstract

A new language is presented and its implementation is discussed. The language is presented as an extension of Pascal, incorporating parallel features of the two successful parallel languages, Ada and Occam, thus providing a simpler and less demanding parallel programming platform. Only four additions, the parallel block, the parallel loop, channels and the communication choice statement, are made to Pascal to make the language easier to learn by a programmer who is new to the concepts of parallel programming. Implementation issues are also discussed, namely the run-time allocation and deallocation of the activation records, and a more generalized statement that corresponds to Occam's ALT and Ada's SELECT statement.
