Hypercube joyce: An implementation of a portable compiler for concurrent architectures

A compiler for the language Joyce, creating code for the Intel iPSC/2 hypercube, is described. A specialized intermediate language, the spawning stack machine, is used to allow efficient translation to the parallel target machine. This intermediate language is an architecture-independent description of parallel or distributed computation, and should prove useful in construction of portable compilers for many types of parallel computers.<
