This research project is directed at the design and detailed specification of the Advanced ZPL language in anticipation of its full experimental evaluation. Advanced ZPL is intended as the programming language for scientific and engineering computations that are to be run on parallel supercomputers. Unlike ZPL (and other antecedent data parallel languages) Advanced ZPL is suitable for general parallel algorithms. Advanced ZPL contains ZPL as a proper subset, giving it full support for data parallel computation. In addition, Advanced ZPL provides the capability to express thread parallelism, task parallelism and pipelining. ZPL provides array data structures, while Advanced ZPL adds general data structuring capabilities. Control over data motion and computational granularity are provided. The goal is to produce a precise specification with which to write sample applications. Based on these applications users can assess the convenience and expressivity of Advanced ZPL, and compiler writers can formulate ways to produce efficient, portable code for it.

本研究项目旨在设计和详细规范的高级ZPL语言，预计其充分的实验评估。 高级ZPL旨在作为在并行超级计算机上运行的科学和工程计算的编程语言。 与ZPL（和其他先行的数据并行语言）不同，高级ZPL适用于一般的并行算法。 高级ZPL包含ZPL作为一个真子集，使其完全支持数据并行计算。 此外，高级ZPL提供了表达线程并行性、任务并行性和流水线的能力。 ZPL提供数组数据结构，而Advanced ZPL增加了通用数据结构化功能。 提供了对数据运动和计算粒度的控制。 我们的目标是生成一个精确的规范，用于编写示例应用程序。基于这些应用程序，用户可以评估高级ZPL的便利性和表达能力，编译器作者可以制定方法来为其生成高效，可移植的代码。
