`Version:`	2
`Parts:`	interpreter
`Author:`	Brian Bliss <bliss@convex.com>
`Location:`	ftp://sp2.csrd.uiuc.edu/pub/CSRD_Software/APPL_EXEC/
`Description:`	ae (the "application executive") is a C interpreter library which is compiled with an application; hence, the interpreter exists in the same process and address space. it includes a dbx symbol table scanner to access compiled vars & routines, or you can enter them manually by providing a type/name declaration and the address. when the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments are read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and evaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functions in addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new data types and data objects, etc. Different input streams can be evaluated in parallel on alliant machines. Version 2 differs substantially in that the code fragments are read into an intermediate form before being evaluated, and can be stored in this form and then called from either user code or the interpreter. Version 2 also handles looping constructs (and the full C language), unlike version 1.

`Version:`	1.31
`Parts:`	library
`Author:`	Sean Levy <Sean.Levy@cs.cmu.edu>
`Location:`	ftp://barkley.berkeley.edu/tcl/???
`Description:`	BOS is a C-callable library that implements the notion of object and which uses Tcl as its interpreter for interpreted methods (you can have "compiled" methods in C, and mix compiled and interpreted methods in the same object, plus lots more stuff). I regularly (a) subclass and (b) mixin existing objects using BOS to extend, among other things, the set of tk widgets (I have all tk widgets wrapped with BOS "classes"). BOS is a class-free object system, also called a prototype-based object system; it is modeled loosely on the Self system from Stanford.

`Description:`	The current revision, 0.6, is interfaced with Fraser and Hanson's lcc front end. The result is a highly fast C compiler with good code selection and no global optimization. Project Status: Chop compiles and runs a number of small test programs on the Vax. I'm currently updating the NS32k and 68K retargets for lcc compatibility. After I get them working, I'll work on getting the system to compile itself, get struct assignments working, improve the code quality and compile speed, and run the SPEC benchmarks. That will be rev 1.0.

Besides ``usual'' features such as viewing source texts and breakpoints, DDD provides a graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. A simple mouse click dereferences pointers or reveals structure contents, updated each time the program stops. Using DDD, you can reason about your application by viewing its data, not just by viewing it execute lines of source code.

`Description:`	This is a garbage colecting storage allocator that is intended to be used as a plug-in replacement for C's malloc. Since the collector does not require pointers to be tagged, it does not attempt to ensure that all inaccessible storage is reclaimed. However, in our experience, it is typically more successful at reclaiming unused memory than most C programs using explicit deallocation. Unlike manually introduced leaks, the amount of unreclaimed memory typically stays bounded.

`Version:`	3.1
`Parts:`	compiler
`Author:`	Christopher Glaeser
`Location:`	ftp://maspar.maspar.com/pub/mpl-*
`Description:`	MPL is based on ANSI C and includes SIMD language estensions. The new keyword "plural" is a type qualifier which is used to declare variables on a parallel array. For example, the declaration "plural int i" declares an "i" on each of the parallel processors. In addition, plural expressions can be used in IF, WHILE, SWITCH, and other statements to support plural control flow. The MPL compiler is based on the GNU compiler.

`Package:`	MTtcl - Multi-threaded Tcl
`Version:`	0.9
`Parts:`	interpreter, library
`Location:`	ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/mttcl/MTtcl0.9.tar.gz
`Description:`	The MTtcl package gives Tcl/Tk programmers access to the multi-threading features of Solaris 2. The package comes in two parts; a modified version of Tcl 7.4, and a Tcl threads extension. Modifications were necessary to enable Tcl to work "safely" in the presence of multiple threads. The Tcl interpretter uses a number of static and global variables to execute scripts. If two threads are using the same global, the behavior of the script may be unpredictable. This "safe" Tcl is called MT-Sturdy Tcl. The threads extension brings multi-thread programming into the Tcl environment. Multiple scripts can be interpretted simultaneously with communication and synchronization between scripts. There is special support for using threads in Tk scripts. Documentation for the threads commands are in the form of man pages.
`Requires:`	Sparc, Solaris 2.3, Sparcworks 3.0 C compiler, Tcl 7.4, Tk 4.0
`Ports:`	Sparc Solaris 2.3

`Language:`	Tcl
`Package:`	narray
`Version:`	0.10
`Author:`	Sam Shen <sls@gainful.lbl.gov>
`Location:`	???
`Description:`	NArray is an extension to help Tcl cope with large in-memory numeric arrays. NArray's require only a few more bytes than the storage required by the array. In addition to providing array referencing and setting, narray allows functions to be mapped over each element of the array. These functions are compiled into byte code for performance about 100x faster than straight tcl and only 5-10x slower than C. (These numbers are ball-park figures, actual results depend on the situation.) If you have netCDF, then narray's can be saved to and loaded from netCDF files.
