Abstract
Large array processing can be done efficiently by a linear processor array. We developed a SIMD line-processor computer and a high-level programmation 's environment including a C-like Array Programming Language with Object-Oriented abilities in order to compute physical problems. We based our work on the problem of manipulation, high-level representation and machine-level mapping of data. We try to find hardware and software solutions to provide an easy way to program parallel computer and an efficient use of SIMD parallelism.
