The General Intensional Programming System (GIPSY) project aims at providing a software platform for the long-term investigation of intensional programming, a declarative programming paradigm suitable for scientific programming. GIPSY consists of a flexible compiler and a scalable runtime system, where the compiler translates any flavor of intensional program into source-language independent runtime resources, and the runtime system executes the program in a demand-driven and distributed manner, i.e. computation requirements are wrapped in demands and are distributed among network computers,...
