Abstract :
Considerable work has been done on parallelizing compilers for production languages, but the results are inadequate for tasks with large-scale parallelism. It is argued that explicitly parallel production languages are necessary for such tasks. PPL (Parallel Production Language), an explicitly parallel production language, is described. PPL is closely related to the OPS family of languages and is based primarily on OPS5
