Abstract

Dactl is an experimental language programming language based on fine grain graph transformations. It was developed in the context of a large parallel reduction machine project. The design of the language is outlined, and examples given of its use both as a compiler target language and as a programming language. Dactl has a formal semantics and stable implementations on a number of platforms.
