Parallaxis
- Abstract
- Parallaxis is a structured programming language for data-parallel programming (SIMD systems), developed by Thomas Brunl in 1989. The language is based on sequential Modula-2, but extended by machine-independent parallel constructs. In Parallaxis an abstraction is achieved by declaring a processor configuration in functional form, specifying number, arrangement, and connections between processors. With these virtual processors and connections, an application program can be constructed independent of the actual computer hardware.

- TargetEnvironment
- The sequential version runs on almost all Unix systems: Sun SPARCstation (SUN-OS, Solaris), DECstation, HP 9000, IBM RS6000, SGI Iris, IBM-PC with linux. There are parallel versions for MasPar MP-1, MP-2, Workstations clusters (using PVM) and Intel Paragon (SPMD mode).
