    ABSTRACT:: CAREL is a Lisp implementation designed to be a high-level
               interactive systems programming language for a
               distributed-memory multiprocessor. CAREL insulates the user
               from the machine language of the multiprocessor architecture,
               but still makes it possible for the user to specify
               explicitly the assignment of tasks to processors in the
               multiprocessor network. CAREL has been implemented to run on
               a TI Explorer Lisp machine using Stanford's CARE
               multiprocessor simulator.

               CAREL is more than a language: real-time graphical displays
               provided by the CARE simulator make CAREL a novel graphical
               programming environment for distributed computing. CAREL
               enables the user to create programs interactively and then
               watch them run on a network of simulated processors. As a
               CAREL program executes, the CARE simulator graphically
               displays the activity of the processors and the transmission
               of data through the network. Using this capability, CAREL has
               demonstrated its utility as an educational tool for
               multiprocessor computing.
