Structured parallel programs ought to be conceived as two separate and complementary entities: computation, which expresses the calculations in a procedural manner, and coordination, which abstracts the interaction and communication. By abstracting commonly used patterns of parallel computation, communication, and interaction, algorithmic skeletons enable programmers to code algorithms without specifying platform‐dependent primitives. This article presents a literature review on algorithmic skeleton frameworks (ASKF), parallel software development environments furnishing a collection of parameterizable algorithmic skeletons, where the control flow, nesting, resource monitoring, and portability of the resulting parallel program is dictated by the ASKF as opposed to the programmer. Consequently, the ASKF can be positioned as high‐level structured parallel programming enablers, as their systematic utilization permits the abstract description of programs and fosters portability by focusing on the description of the algorithmic structure rather than on its detailed implementation.

“…The lowlevel aspects of parallelism exploitation are managed by either the skeleton compilers or the runtime support. Starting from this idea, some PEs were developed, such as P ¿ L [1] and SkIE [2]. The skeleton technology has some very interesting features for high-performance computing in terms of high-level programmability, compositionality, and performance portability owing to the existence of a cost model.…”

“…Work is in progress to integrate Java and other standard object-oriented tools. The coordination language SklECL is an industrial version of p3L, a prototype research vehicle designed at the Department of Computer Science, University of Pisa [5][6][7][8]. SklECL allows the software designers to express, in a primitive and structured way, both data parallelism and task parallelism.…”

Directions of software technologies for innovative HPC environments are discussed according to the industrial user requirements for heterogeneous multidisciplinary applications, performance portability, rapid prototyping and software reuse, integration and interoperability of standard tools. The various issues are demonstrated with reference to the PQE2000 project and its programming environment SklE (Skeleton-based Integrated Environment). Modules developed by a variety of standard languages and tools are encapsulated into SklECL (SklE Coordination Language) structures to form the global application. A performance model associated to SklECL allows the static and dynamic tools to introduce a large amount of global optimizations without the direct intervention of the programmer. The paper discusses also some of the most critical issues in matching architecture and software technology, showing how the SklE environment, and its evolutions, can act as a solid framework in which innovative hardware-software systems for HPC can be studied and experimented.
