    1717The remainder of this document is a first design draft for SAC style language support of multidimensional arrays in the context of DPH. The implementation is not completed yet, and there are several open questions.

    2124Regular parallel arrays are similar to arrays in SAC, with one major 
    2225difference: array operations in DPH are fully typed, and consequently, what 
    23 is called 'shape invariant programming' in SAC works differently in DPH. In particular, the dimensionality of an array (not its size, however) are encoded in its type.
