  My quals project was expanding the <a href=http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/projects/zpl/>ZPL language</a> to handle irregular data structures (represented by graphs) and dynamically repartitioned data (both graphs and arrays).  Here is my <a href=http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/vass/Links/GraphZPL-paper.ps>quals writeup</a> (329K, 47 pages). For a short overview, check out the <a href=http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/vass/Links/GraphZPL-slides.ps>slides</a> from my presentation (29 pages/slides).  Also, I have collected a few <a href=http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/vass/Links/z.html>links</a> to resources related to the project. <P>
