Description
Summary:This paper describes how the SIMPLE fired dynamics benchmark is programmed using a new language that promotes portability. Beginning with the mathematics behind the SIMPLE simulation, we present in detail the process by which a portable Orca program is written. We provide evidence that our program is portable across the Intel iPSC/2, the nCUBE/7, the Sequent Symmetry, the BBN Butterfly, and a simulated Transputer-based nonshared memory machine. In addition, this paper illustrates that language constructs can be provided to ease the burden of programming with message passing. KEY WORDS: results.
