description: | Despite such advantages as a large user community and its parallel semantics, APL is often overlooked as a programming language for parallel computers. Researchers considered the potential speedup for single instruction stream, multiple data stream (SIMD) parallel implementations of APL programs. Both analytical and simulated empirical studies were conducted. The approach taken recognized that almost 95% of the operators appearing in APL programs are either scalar primitive, reduction, or indexing. Thus, the performance of the operators provides a good estimate of the amount of speedup a full program might receive. Substantial speedups were demonstrated for the operators. Empirical evidence was found to be in accord with analytical estimates. |
