Abstract
ion in Explicitly Parallel Programs by Katherine Anne Yelick c fl Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990 This report is a revised version of the author's thesis, which was submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on December 31, 1990 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The thesis was supervised by John V. Guttag. The author's current address is the Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720. 2 Abstract It is well-known that writing parallel programs that are both fast and correct is significantly harder than writing sequential ones. In this thesis we introduce a transition-based approach to the design and implementation of parallel programs. This approach is aimed at applications whose complex data and control structures make them hard to parallelize by conventional means. It is based on a programming model with explicit pa...
