We are pleased to announce that a version of the GLU parallel
programming system is now available to educational institutions
under a cost-free license.  If you are interested, please see
WWW URL //www.csl.sri.com/GLU.html, or contact me at

Briefly, GLU is a high-level parallel programming system that 
embodies a hybrid model of programming, one in which parallelism
is expressed implicitly using dataflow equations and computation
is specified imperatively (e.g., in C).  

GLU programs
* can be derived from sequential imperative programs
  with nominal effort;
* can succinctly express different forms of parallelism;
* can run on most Unix-based architectures including
  workstation networks and multiprocessors;
* can handle addition and deletion of individual
  processors (such as workstations) during execution.
