Agora can be customized to support the computational model that is most suitable for a given application. Agora has been designed explicitly to support multiple languages and highly parallel computations by means of memory caching and pattern directed invocation. Systems built with Agora can be executed on a variety of general purpose multiprocessor architectures.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/architecture-agora-environment/}, pages = {99-117}, chapter = {Chapter 4 - The Architecture of the Agora Environment}, }
