A New Programming Language and Environment

该项目是一个尝试，以提高在艺术的状态， 开发程序，特别是科学计算。 这项工作包括制定一个新的程序， 编程语言，Polya，开发和完善， 吉布斯风格的程序描述思想，以及 工作站编程环境的实现。 的 术语“Gibbs”表示程序描述， 更容易写出可理解的科学描述 程序，这样科学家就可以发布描述， 并将被其他人阅读。 一个目标是提高软件的艺术水平 工程在其关键领域之一，再利用 程序部分。 这将在一定程度上通过新的想法来实现， 模块及其在Polya中的使用。 第二个目标是为科学家提供一种语言， 环境，这将提高他们的写作效率 用于超级计算机和其他机器的软件。 直接 康奈尔大学的物理学家和其他科学家的参与， 确保最终系统适合其使用。 该项目由NSF和DARPA共同资助， 主要贡献来自DARPA。

This project is an attempt to improve the state of the art in the development of programs, particularly for scientific computing. The work includes the development of a new procedural programming language, Polya, the development and refinement of ideas on program description in the `Gibbs' style, and the implementation of a workstation programming environment. The term `Gibbs' denotes a program description that should make it easier to write understandable descriptions of scientific programs, so that scientists can publish descriptions that can and will be read by others. One goal is to improve the state of the art of software engineering in one of its crucial areas, the re-use of program parts. This will be done, in part, through new ideas on modules and their use in Polya. A second goal is to provide scientists with a language and environment that will increase their effectivity in writing software for supercomputers and other machines. Direct involvement of physicists and other scientists at Cornell will ensure that the resulting system is suitable for their use. This project is split funded between NSF and DARPA, with the major contribution coming from DARPA.
