Abstract
This paper presents the status of an ongoing project in constructing a framework to create problem solving environments (PSEs). The framework is independent of any particular architecture, programming model, or problem domain. The framework makes use of compiler technology, but identifies and addresses several key differences between compilers and PSE. The validity of this model is being tested through the creation of several prototype PSEs, which apply to significantly different domains, and target both parallel computers and reconfigurable computers.
