Exploring the Parallelism Exposed by Partial Evaluation.

Abstract

We describe the key role played by partial evaluation in the Supercomputer Toolkit, a parallel computing system for scientific applications that effectively exploits the vast amount of parallelism exposed by partial evaluation. The Supercomputer Toolkit parallel processor and its associated partial evaluation-based compiler have been used extensively by scientists at M.I.T., and have made possible recent results in astrophysics showing that the motion of the planets in our solar system is chaotically unstable. Parallel compilation, Partial evaluation, Fine-grain parallelism, Parallel instruction scheduling.
