Abstract
Abstract- SequenceL is a concise, high-level language with a simple semantic that provides for the automatic derivation of many iterative and parallel control structures. The semantic repeatedly applies a “Normalize-Transpose ” operation to functions and operators until base cases are discovered, which include the grounding of variables and the application of built-in operators to operands of appropriate types. This paper introduces the language from an intuitive point of view, indicating the scalability of the normalize-transpose, the different forms of recursion supported by the language and its abstraction, and new shorthand methods for specifying additional iterative/recursive problem solutions.
