Abstract
We present a programming model which offers ease of parallel application programming for both shared variables and distributed programming. The model is more abstract than distributed models such as PVM, MPI and Split C and shared models such as thread packages or the ANL Parmacs. It improves on the property of memory-modelindependence of other models such as CC++ and Nexus and offers a remarkable amount of ease of use. ffl The process model - a work pool - is akin to CORBA in that it is defined in terms of abstract work pieces (services, tasks) rather than processes or threads. Semantically, this corresponds to asynchronous remote procedure calls. ffl The data model features global data which allows memory-model-independence as well. The coordination of accesses to global data is possible by so-called coordinators. Coordinators enable the declarative specification of access patterns to global data thus allowing automatic coordination. The overall model allows considering ...
