Abstract :
This paper presents the work done in developing a Common LISP programming environment, to aid applications programmers solving large-scale numerical problems on hypercube architectures. The power of abstraction of Common LISP along with the speed of C programming language have been combined to develop this environment. The inherent parallelism and asynchronous operation of data-flow graphs are put to use in instruction execution
