Abstract MOVIE (Multitasking Object‐oriented Visual Interactive Environment) is a new software system for high‐performance distributed computing (HPDC), currently in the advanced design and implementation stage at Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC), Syracuse University. The MOVIE system is structured as a multiserver network of interpreters of the high‐level object‐oriented programming language MovieScript. MovieScript derives from PostScript and extends it in the C++ syntax‐based object‐oriented interpreted style towards 3D graphics, high‐performance computing and general‐purpose high‐level communication protocol for distributed and MIMD‐parallel computing. The paper describes the overall open systems‐based MOVIE design and itemizes currently implemented, developed and planned components of the system.
