Ample looks interesting. What license does it use? I had a quick look over the source and can't find anything. Is there a port to Windows or does it not do any OS specific UI/graphics?
By default, we're releasing it under GPL. I guess I should place a copy of the license somewhere in the tarball... For the graphs it produces, it just emits a gnuplot source file (textfile, easy) and then automagically calls gnuplot to display that file. It would probably work straight out of the box under cygwin (or similar) with an appropriate build of gnuplot in your current path. Failing that, you (or I) could easilly comment out the "call gnuplot" stage and end up with a vanilla console-IO application. If it gives you any trouble then send me a mail and i'll fix it. ... There's also a paper that goes with it, which used to be on Clem's page but I see that the link is broken now, i'll get fixed. ...
a (very slow) simulator you might want to poke around with. I wrote it based around Clem Baker-Finch's "Abstract machine for parallel lazy evaluation", which supports fully speculative implicit parallelism.
