+==== About SaC ====
 **S**ingle-**A**ssignment **C** is an array programming language predominantly suited for application areas such as numerically intensive applications and signal processing. Its distinctive feature is that it combines //high-level program specifications// with //runtime efficiency// similar to that of hand-optimized low-level specifications. Key to the optimization process that facilitates these runtimes is the underlying //functional model// which also constitutes the basis for //implicit parallelisation//. This makes SAC ideally suited for harnessing the full potential of a wide variety of modern architectures ranging from a few symmetric cores with shared memory to massively parallel systems that host heterogeneous components including GPUs and FPGAs.
