Zusammenfassung:An overview is given of the SPAN project, which pooled the resources of numerous researchers in several countries to integrate symbolic and numeric computing on parallel systems. The resulting Kernel System architectures provided a central model for which two programming languages and two parallel-system architectures were developed. The Kernel System architecture, Parle high-level procedural language, Virtual Machine Code, Sprint processor architecture, and DICE distributed memory architecture are examined.< >
