Abstract

Tlisp is an experimental concurrent lisp based on Xlisp. It is designed to run on an array of transputers with the Helios operating system. The eval-server model of parallelism is used with each transputer in the network reading, evaluating and printing s-expressions independently of the others. Tlisp has been developed for work with computer algebra algorithms, in particular, an interpolation algorithm for computing greatest common divisors of multivariate polynomials. Satisfactory performance has been observed with this application.
