Abstract
The authors describe Prelude, a programming language and
accompanying system support for writing portable parallel programs for
multiprocessor architectures. Prelude allows the programmer to separate
the description of the computation to be performed by a program from the
description of how that computation is to be mapped onto a machine. This
makes it easier to tune the performance of a program on a particular
machine and also simplifies porting a program to new architectures
