APL2 has often been used in a credit course at the Technical University of Denmark. The objective of the course exercise has been to analyze the vocalizations of Sperm Whales. In January 1996 the course was run again, this time using the IBM SP/2 supercomputer to solve the problem, and in this course an additional objective was to utilize the possibilities of this powerful parallel computer.During the three weeks of the course the students learned the APL language, solved a non-trivial problem, used a very powerful computer for the solution and wrote excellent and detailed reports.
