ZPL

ZPL is a new array programming language designed from first principles for fast execution on both sequential and parallel computers. Because ZPL benefits from recent research in parallel compilation, it provides a convenient high level programming medium for supercomputers with efficiency comparable to handcoded message passing. Users with scientific computing experience can generally learn ZPL in a few hours. Those who have used MATLAB or Fortran 90 may already be acquainted with the array programming style.
