Abstract :
A description is given of ACLAN (Array C LANguage), a programming language that extends C language by endowing it with parallel structures for programming array processors. Operators are provided which control local (intranode) and remote (internode) data transfer, and the programmer can specify the registers or local memory locations of the nodes involved in this operation. In spite of this low-level capability. ACLAN is completely machine-independent. The authors describe the basic features of ACLAN and present an image-processing application example written in ACLAN
