The 1984/85 accomplishments of the research project High-Performance Parallel Computing included bringing the prototype of the Texas Reconfigurable Array Computer (TRAC) to a configuration and to a state of stability where it could support execution of simple assembly language programs; initial development of a unified model of parallel computation which is a basis for a programming environment uniting process and data flow models of parallel computation; bringing to operational status on an alternative host one of the two parallel programming languages (the Computation Structures Language, CSL) originally intended for use on TRAC; exploration of the expressive capabilities of this programming language; initiation of development of a graphical programming language based on the unified model of parallel computation mentioned previously; major progress on a graphically interfaced Petri Net-based performance modeling system for parallel computations and development of algorithms for scheduling of circuits to realize configurations in configurable Banyan network-based computer architectures.
