Abstract
SISAL is a parallel functional language developed for use on a variety of parallel processing architectures. In this report we discuss the implementation strategies that have allowed quick development of a reasonably portable system that can effectively exploit features of common target architectures. We outline the run time management software. Speedup data from a few representative benchmarks demonstrates that SISAL uses the available concurrency of the Denelcor HEP multiprocessor well via completely automatic detection and implementation of parallelism.
