.... into sequences of instructions chosen from a common instruction set and the control unit interprets that instruction set concurrently (one instruction at a time, across all the PEs that require it) Collins, 1988, Dietz and Cohen, 1992a, Littman and Metcalf, 1988, Nilsson and Tanaka, 1988b, Shu and Wu, 1995, Wilsey et al. 1992 ] Every iteration through the interpreter program allows all the PEs to advance their instruction streams one instruction regardless of the number of PEs. Unfortunately, these concurrent interpretation models are only able to achieve a small fraction of the peak ....

....set of operations. Using this set as the interpreted operation set, concurrent interpretation becomes possible. The P kernel runtime system manager is a run time support system that provides a general environment for using interpretation to implement asynchronous applications on SIMD machines [ Shu and Wu, 1995, Shu and Wu, 1993 ] P kernel leaves it to the programmer to define a set of processes for the interpretation set, and then use these processes to express the application. Each process consists of a set of atomic computations that share one common data area. The atomic computations include ....
