Parallaxis-III: Architecture-Independent Data Parallel Processing

Parallaxis-III is an architecture-independent data parallel programming language based on Modula-2. It has been designed for teaching data parallel concepts and is in use at a large number of institutions. Compilers exist for data parallel systems, as well as for a sequential simulation system. A data parallel graphics debugger allows efficient source level analysis for parallel programs.
