Experiments with program parallelization using archetypes and stepwise refinement

“…Meanwhile, research on patterns has begun to consider facets of concurrency and parallelism [7,24,25]. While initially targeting issues of synchronisation and nondeterminism more relevant to distributed computing, recent work has moved closer to the concerns of High Performance Computing (HPC) and the connection to skeletons has become increasingly apparent.…”

AbstractSkeleton and pattern based parallel programming promise significant benefits but remain absent from mainstream practice. We consider why this situation has arisen and propose a number of design principles which may help to redress it. We sketch the eSkel library, which represents a concrete attempt to apply these principles. eSkel is based on C and MPI, thereby embedding its skeletons in a conceptually familiar framework. We present an application of eSkel and analyse it as a response to our manifesto.
