Modula-2 {Niklaus Wirth} at {ETH} in 1978. It is a derivative of {Pascal} with well-defined interfaces between {module}s, and facilities for parallel computation. Modula-2 was developed as the system language for the {Lilith} {workstation}. The central concept is the {module} which may be used to encapsulate a set of related subprograms and data structures, and restrict their visibility from other portions of the program. Each module has a definition part giving the interface, and an implementation part. The language provides limited single-processor {concurrency} ({monitor}s, {coroutine}s and explicit transfer of control) and hardware access ({absolute address}es and {interrupt}s). It uses {name equivalence}. {DEC FTP archive (ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/.1/DEC/Modula-2/m2.tar.Z)}. ["Programming in Modula-2", N. Wirth, Springer 1985]. (1995-10-25) | |

Modula-2* An extension of {Modula-2} by M. Philippsen uses a superset of {data parallelism}, allowing both synchronous and asynchronous programs, both {SIMD} and {MIMD}. Parallelism may be nested to any depth. There are version for {MasPar} and a simulator for the {SPARC}. {(ftp://iraun1.ira.uka.de/pub/programming/modula2star)}.
