ASSIST demo: an high level, high performance, portable, structured parallel programming environment at work

This work summarizes the possibilities offered by parallel programming environment ASSIST by outlining some of the features that will be demonstrated at the conference demo session. We'll substantially show how this environment can be deployed on a Linux workstation network/cluster, how applications can be compiled and run using ASSIST and eventually, we'll discuss some ASSIST scalability and performance features. We'll also outline how the ASSIST environment can be used to target GRID architectures.
