程序在许多方面彼此不同。在一个这样的维度中，程序可以沿着一个频谱进行布局，一端主要是符号程序，另一端主要是数字程序。数值和符号程序之间的差异表明并行处理的不同方法。本文探讨了并行符号计算的问题和机会，并描述了在麻省理工学院使用的语言Multilisp。并行符号编程的实验
Programs differ from one another in many dimensions. In one such dimension, programs can be laid out along a spectrum with predominantly symbolic programs at one end and predominantly numerical programs at the other. The differences between numerical and symbolic programs suggest different approaches to parallel processing. This article explores the problems and opportunities of parallel symbolic computing and describes the language Multilisp, used at M.I.T. for experiments in parallel symbolic programming.
