The tendency towards increased parallelism in computers is noted.Exploitation of this parallelism presents a Humber of new t)roblems in machine desiga and in programming systems..~[inimumrequirements for successful concurrent execution oi" several independent problem programs are discussed.These requirements are met in the STItETCH system by a carefully b:danced combination of built-in and programmed logic.Techniques are described which place the burden of the programmed logic on systein programs (supervisory progrtrm and compiler) rather th:m on problem programs.
