Abstract
The functional programming system SFP under development at the Institute of Informatics Systems in Novosibirsk is aimed at supporting development of parallel computing applications that still offer high performance and portability. The paper describes equivalent transformations of the Sisal 3.2 programming language (based on Sisal 90) structures. These transformations are to decompose the complex language structures into more simple ones that can be directly expressed by the internal representation IR1, which is based on the intermediate form language IF1. Currently some description of similar transformations can be found in few works about Sisal 90 in the form of examples. These transformations are performed by the front-end compiler from Sisal 3.2 into IR1 and help to better understand its translation strategy. The paper also briefly describes IR1 languages.
