Programming highly parallel computers is an extremely complex task which will necessitate the development of appropriate sets of support tools, including graphics-oriented programming environments for MIMD, ensemble machines. We have already implemented a rudimentary environment built as the front end to a multiprocessor simulator. This environment will serve as the testbed for our research in two areas: high-level languages and parallel debugging. In the area of high-level languages, we investigate specifications of graph grammar, provide mapping assistance through graph-grammar based mechanisms, and design heuristics for aesthetic graph layout and placement. In the area of parallel debugging, we would determine which kinds of information is most useful to debugging of parallel programs.

编程高度并行的计算机是一项极其复杂的任务，这将需要开发适当的支持工具集，包括用于MIMD和系列机的面向图形的编程环境。我们已经实现了一个作为多处理器模拟器前端构建的基本环境。这个环境将作为我们在两个领域的研究的试验台：高级语言和并行调试。在高级语言领域，我们研究了图文法的规范，通过基于图文法的机制提供映射辅助，并为美学的图布局和放置设计启发式算法。在并行调试方面，我们将确定哪些类型的信息对并行程序的调试最有用。
