Scandal Project Home Page

The primary research interest of the Scandal project is the development of a portable, interactive environment for programming a wide range of supercomputers. The two main goals of the project are:

Developing a portable parallel language, NESL, and associated environment.
Developing fast implementations of parallel algorithms.

There are two possible etymologies of SCANDAL.
