 AlphaZ is a general framework for analysis, transformation and code generation in the Polyhedral Equational Model. The input "program" consists of one or more mathematical equations that specify just //**what**// needs to be computed.  It can be viewed as a specification. In order to produce a (conventional/imperative) program that //implements// this specification, one needs to specify a schedule (when), a processor allocation (who), and a memory allocation (where to store).  Actually, even this is not strictly necessary.  We also have a "memoized demand driven" code generator that produces executable code in the absence of any schedule or memory/processor allocation information. AlphaZ is a general framework for analysis, transformation and code generation in the Polyhedral Equational Model.
