UFO
(United Functions and Objects) A hybrid
{functional} and {object-oriented} language designed by John
Seargant at {Manchester University} for general-purpose
parallel computation.
To a first approximation, UFO is a strict, higher-order
functional language with an object-oriented type system, and
strong support for numeric computation in the form of
SISAL-style arrays and loops. Parallelism is implicit, and
applies at various different levels of granularity, thereby
facilitating implementations on a wide range of parallel
architectures.
It is planned to run it on a 64 processor {KSR} machine.
