ion—Extracting Out the Essential Characteristics of a Thing Object-oriented programming starts with object-oriented design. And object-oriented design starts with abstraction. What's an "object"? Using our new-found skill of "abstraction", consider the similarities between realworld objects, say, a car and a software object. The attributes they share are shown in Table 11-2.

A compositional parallel program is a program constructed by composing component programs in parallel where the composed pro gram inherits properties of its components In this paper we describe a small extension of C called Compositional C or CC which is an object oriented notation that supports compositional parallel programming CC integrates di erent paradigms of parallel pro gramming data pa...

The actor model of computation has gained significant popularity over the last decade. Its high level of abstraction makes it appealing for concurrent applications in parallel and distributed systems. However, designing a real-world actor framework that subsumes full scalability, strong reliability, and high resource efficiency requires many conceptual and algorithmic additives to the original ...

Nowadays, a challenge for programmers is to make their programs better. The word "better" means more simple, portable and much faster in execution. Heterogeneous computing is a new methodology in computer science field. GPGPU programming is a new and challenging technique which is used for solving problems with data parallel nature. In this paper we describe this new programming methodology wit...
