syntax. Designed to be a common high-level language for numerical programs
on a variety of multiprocessors. "A Report on the SISAL Language Project",
J.T. Feo et al, J Parallel and Distrib Computing 10(4):349-366 (Dec 1990).
Implementations exist for Cray X-MP, Y-MP, Cray-2, Sequent, Encore Alliant,
