The ability to “see” parallel code is a key advantage that parallel languages have over sequential counterparts, as the parallelism is self-documenting in that regard (Fig. 2).

DDS provides a loosely coupled parallel computing environment. Individual publishers and subscribers are programmed in a conventional sequential programming fashion.

3) We can write our programsin a new programming language where parallelism is implicit. This isthe approach advocated in this series of articles, and pH is such alanguage. pH is parallel from the ...

Dr. Guy Blelloch of Carnegie Mellon University has written an article for the folks at CilkArts analyzing why parallel programming seems to be more difficult than sequential programming. He quickly ...

IBM’s new programming model breaks the mold of sequential operation underlying today’s von Neumann architectures and computers. It is instead tailored for a new class of distributed, highly ...

In their own parallel Turing machine (PTM) model, the researchers hope to ensure the key properties of sequential computing – understandability, predictability and determinism – in a parallel model.

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

Both parallel programming and asynchronous programming are examples of concurrent programming, meaning more than one operation is running at the same time. Parallel programming is a more specific form ...

The Functional Layer A large subset of pH is its functional core, whose syntax and nonstrictsemantics are exactly those of the pure functional language Haskell.The major programming style in pH is ...
