VAL -- A Value-Oriented Algorithmic Language (Preliminary Reference Manual),

Abstract

The programming language VAL (Value-Oriented Algorithmic Language) is designed for expressing algorithms for execution on computers capable of highly concurrent operation. More specifically, the application area to be supported is numerical computation which strains the limits of high performance machines, and the primary targets for translation of VAL programs are data driven machines of the form under development by the Computation Structures Group of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science for High performance numerical computation.
