Efficient Parallel Programming with Linda

Object-oriented Parallel Programming with Objective Linda Object-oriented Parallel Programming with Objective Linda

In this paper we present Objective Linda, a coordination model in which object-orientation is combined with uncoupled, generative communication in order to enable object-oriented parallel programming in networked computing resources. Objective Linda provides suitable abstractions for structuring large software systems, supports interoper-ability between diierent programming languages and parall...

ISETL-LINDA: Parallel Programming with Bags

This paper describes the parallel language ISETL-LINDA. The language is an extension of ISETL, an imperative language whose main data structure is the set. We extend ISETL by adding a new type of distributed bags, and operations to act on bags which correspond to the LINDA primitives. However, we use a variant of LINDA created at the University of York which replaces the problematic inp and rdp...

Supporting Fault-Tolerant Parallel Programming in Linda

Linda is a language for programming parallel applications whose most notable feature is a distributed shared memory called tuple space. While suitable for a wide variety of programs, one shortcoming of the language as commonly defined and implemented is a lack of support for writing programs that can tolerate failures in the underlying computing platform. This paper describes FT-Linda, a versio...

Extending the Parallel Logic Programming Paradigm with Linda-like Operations

Contract-Linda: A Paradigm for Programming Heterogeneous Parallel Systems

Contract-Linda is a novel programming architecture for heterogeneous parallel machines particularly suited to image processing. Previous research has concentrated on static and predetermined scheduling of computation and on ne grain parallelism. Predetermined scheduling is satisfactory in cases where the computational process is fully deter-ministic. However with many image interpretation schem...
