I modified the Fx compiler and library to build PVM programs for a variety
of architectures.  In the process, I increased the portability of the
compiler.

\goals{
My goals were to complete the Algorithms and Media Technology courses,
and develop a version of Fx and Fx library for PVM.  }
\satisfaction{
I feel I met these goals. 
}
\plans{
I plan to take the computer systems core, the iWarp/Nectar seminar
(15-845), TA an\\
undergraduate class (ideally, operating systems), and
add tasking support to Fx/PVM.  I will also investigate communications
bottlenecks in compiler-generated SPMD programs running on networks of
workstations with an eye toward optimizing communication via compile
time knowledge and low level communication protocols.
