Abstract: This paper describes the design and implementation in MPI of the parallel vector library CVL, which is used as the basis for implementing nested data-parallel languages such as NESL and Proteus. We compare the ease of writing and debugging the portable MPI implementation of CVL with our experiences writing previous versions in CM-2 Paris, CM-5 CMMD, and PVM, and give initial performance results for MPI CVL running on an IBM SP-1, Intel Paragon, and TMC CM-5.
