Abstract
The authors compare the performance of SISAL, an application language for parallel numerical computations, and Fortran. The intent is to show that applicative programs, when compiled using a set of powerful yet simple optimization techniques, can achieve sequential execution speeds comparable to Fortran, and automatically utilize conventional shared memory multiprocessors
