Dear.all, 
few days ago I was in Pisa at a launch event of a EU program about HPC. Some of the speakers talked about the need of tools to program computers with a large number of cores (even millions).  

This is not my field, but I thought a bit about it.  Although I have the feeling that maybe the right tool is very problem dependent (e.g., solving differential equations, search for matches over large databases, hi-quality rendering, ...)  I could not help thinking that my preferred language (INTERCAL, what else? :-) could be a very nice tool, especially if a compiler specialized to a specific architecture is available.

This raised the following curiosity: are you aware about any application of Ada to very large scale parallelism?

Just out of curiosity.

Thank you in advance

Riccardo.
