Abstract
This paper discusses program transformations to allow traditional programming languages to be used on a variety of architectures. A uniform framework is presented in which various array and multiple-scalar machines are all special cases. The methods are implemented in the Parafrase system, which can be used for machine design as well as compiler design studies.
