Description	The objective of this project is to support the Algorithm to Architecture Mapping Model (ATAMM) firing rules using the Mentat run-time system and the Mentat Programming Language (MPL). Specifically, this required changes to (1) modify the run-time system to control queue length and inhibit actor firing until required data tokens are available and space is available in the input queues of all of the direct descendent actors, (2) disallow the specification of persistent object classes in the MPL, and (3) permit only decision free graphs in the MPL. We have been successful in implementing the spirit of the plan, although some goals changed as we came to better understand the problem. Here, we report on what we accomplished and the lessons we learned. The Mentat/A runtime system, the compiler, results for three applications, and a summary and some observations are given. Appendix A contains a list of technical reports and published papers partially supported by the grant. Appendix B contains listings for the three applications.
