Abstract
A number of programming language models, including actors, provide inherent concurrency. We are developing high-level language constructs using actors and studying their implementation on multiprocessor architectures. This report describes our experience with programming in actors by means of a specific example of scientific computation. We also discuss work in progress on compilation technology for efficient program execution on multiprocessors.
