Coordination Languages for Parallel Programming

Coordination models and languages for parallel programming

Most conventional approaches to parallel programming are based on some basic kinds of synchronized mechanisms and related models of concurrency control: shared variables, message passing, and remote procedure calls. Whereas these paradigms suffice to program parallel applications, they hardly provide abstractions adequate for programmers or language designers. Hence, parallel programming using ...

Coordination Languages for Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

We investigate coordination languages as support for the implementation of parallel discrete event sim ulators In particular we show that the computational model provided by coordination languages and based on the shared space abstraction is a suitable environ ment for the implementation of a new event based methodology we call ActE Active Events ActE nat urally solves the state sharing problem...

Parallel Programming Languages

Portable Parallel Programming Languages

In this workshop session, three speakers present their viewpoints and contributions to the topic of portable parallel programming languages. They are Dennis Gannon from Indiana University, David Loveman from Digital Equipment Corporation, and David Padua from the University of Illinois. Their presentations discuss extensions to C, Fortran, and compiler support for standard languages on parallel...
