Skeleton and pattern based parallel programming promise significant benefits but remain
absent from mainstream practice. We consider why this situation has arisen and propose a …

Structured parallel programs ought to be conceived as two separate and complementary
entities: computation, which expresses the calculations in a procedural manner, and …

Eden extends the non-strict functional language Haskell with constructs to control parallel
evaluation of processes. Although processes are defined explicitly, communication and …

Patterns and Skeletons for Parallel and Distributed Computing is a unique survey of
research work in high-level parallel and distributed computing over the past ten years …

This paper is a general overview of the Skipper project, run at Blaise Pascal University
between 1996 and 2002. The main goal of the Skipper project was to demonstrate the …

Increasingly heterogeneous and hierarchical parallel architectures are now mainstream,
however, most of the traditional programming models are lowlevel and explicit, limiting …

This paper presents a practical evaluation and comparison of three state-of-the-art parallel
functional languages. The evaluation is based on implementations of three typical symbolic …

Transactional monitors are proposed as an alternative to monitors based on mutual-
exclusion synchronization for object-oriented programming languages. Transactional …

Classical application domains of parallel computing are dominated by processing large
arrays of numerical data. Whereas most functional languages focus on lists and trees rather …

Parallel and distributed languages specify computations on multiple processors and have a
computation language to describe the algorithm, ie what to compute, and a coordination …
