An information handling system comprising a plurality of interconnected cells (1400, 1500) is capable of directly and efficiently executing a predetermined class of programming languages known as applicative languages. The system may include two interconnected networks of cells, one of which may be a linear array of cells and the other of which may be a tree networks of cells. The system is able directly to interpret a high level, applicative language and is capable of operating on an wide range of classes of programs. Within practical limits, the system accommodates the unbounded parallelism permitted by applicative languages in a single user program. The system also has the capability of executing many user programs simultaneously. |
