摘要
We study the implementation of an actor language, OAL, on a massively parallel message-passing architecture: MEGA. Motivations and implementation constraints are exposed. A simulator has been built to investigate resource consumption. First results show the feasibility of the implementation but indicates serious problems in memory usage. Load-balancing strategies are presented which partially solve the memory problem. Actors adequacy as a model for exploiting massive parallelism is discussed in conclusion.
