Yes. But that does not mean that they would occur out of order. I believe that "out-of-order sequential parallelism" is a quirk introduced by time slicing implementations, and I believe that supporting it on true parallel hardware would be a mistake. It would be quite reasonable for the implementation to forbid them entirely. It would also be plausible for the implementation to impose rank on the side effect(s). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
