2785	 Glypnir-A Programming Language for Illiac IV	 GLYPNIR is one of the earliest existing languages designed for programming the Illiac IV computer. The syntax of the language is based on ALGOL but has been extended to allow the programmer explicitly to specify the parallelism of his algorithm in terms of -word vectors. This paper describes the characteristics goals and philosophy of the language and discusses some of the problems associated with parallel computer architectures.
