Distributed implementations of programming languages with implicit parallelismhold out the prospect that the parallel programs are immediately scalable. This paperpresents some of the results of our part of Esprit 415, in which we consideredthe implementation of lazy functional programming languages on distributed architectures.A compiler and abstract machine were designed to achieve this goal. The abstractparallel machine was formally specified, using Miranda1. Each instruction of...
