Abstract
A unified approach to the implementation of a variety of data-parallel programming languages on a variety of SIMD, multi-SIMD, and SIMDsimulating MIMD hardware platforms is presented. The essence of this approach is the provision of a formally defined high-level intermediate language (f-code) developed to represent the semantics of data-parallel processing in full as well as data management and control primitives inherent in Fortran, Pascal and C.
