Abstract

This paper describes, in an informal manner, the programming language ACTUS which was designed to facilitate programming array processing and vector processing ‘supercomputers’.ACTUS extends the program structuring and data structuring facilities of Pascal to the synchronous parallel environment as represented by array and vector processor architectures. A knowledge of Pascal is assumed and only the parallel features of ACTUS are described.
