Abstract
We advocate a data-flow approach to data-parallelism to ensure both parallelism expressiveness and efficient exploitation of data-parallel applications on new massively parallel architectures. The rational of this approach is introduced in the first part of the paper. Then we develop an experimental language following these lines and sketch the techniques used to compile such a data-flow data-parallel language. Its compilation, based upon a static execution model enabling an efficient execution of programs, is introduced.
