  Parallaxis
       
           A {procedural} programming language developed by
          Thomas Braeunl  at the {University of
          Stuttgart}.  It is based on {Modula-2}, but extended for {data
          parallel} ({SIMD}) programming.  The main approach for machine


          independent parallel programming is to include a description
          of the virtual parallel machine with each parallel
          {algorithm}.
       
          There is a simulator and {X Window System}-based profiler for
          {workstations}, {Macintosh}, and {IBM PC}.
       
          Version 2.0 runs on {MP-1}, {CM-2}, {Sun-3}, {Sun-4},
          {DECstation}, {HP 700}, {RS/6000}.
