Titanium Language Reference Manual

Titanium is a dialect of Java for large-scale scientific computing. The primary goal is a language that has high performance on large scale multiprocessors, including massively parallel processors and workstation clusters with one or more processors per node. Secondary goals include safety, portability, and support for building complex data structures. The main additions to Java are immutable classes, multi-dimensional arrays, an explicitly parallel SPMD model, and zone-based memory management. This document informally describes our current design for the Titanium language. It is in the form of a set of changes to Java, version 1.0.
