Abstract
Argonne National Laboratory has established an Advanced Computing Research Facility where researchers can experiment with innovative machines and develop programming tools for advanced-architecture computers. Argonne scientists are using new approaches to write software that operates on different high-performance computers with minimal rewriting. These approaches include restructuring of algorithms and design of a monitors/macros technique for synchronizing multiple processes. Additionally, scientists are developing new algorithms that take advantage of the special properties of parallel computers. Argonne researchers have also implemented a parallel Warren Abstract Machine for logic programming that will be used to develop extremely high-performance automated reasoning systems.
