Abstract
ALWAN is a parallel coordination language and programming environment developed at the University of Basel. The design goals of ALWAN are to increase the programmability of parallel applications, enable performance portability, support the reuse of software components, and mixed-language programming. In this paper we summarize the language and describe the code generation for PVM-based environments. We report on performance measurements on IBM SP2, INTEL PARAGON, and CRAY T3D.
