Abstract

Qlisp, a dialect, of Common Lisp, has been proposed as a multiprocessing programming language which is suitable for studying the styles of parallel programming at the medium-grain level. An initial version of Qlisp has been implemented on a multiprocessor and a number of experiments with it conducted. This paper describes the implementation and reports on some of the experiments.
