Scalable parallel processing is a driving force in high performance computing research. The notion of scalable parallel algorithms continues to elude computational science as a whole. Some problems are trivially parallelized while others have hidden parallelism and pipelining. Von Neumann languages, such as FORTRAN and C, are a limiting factor influencing the performance of parallel software. This paper proposes a software architecture to support the notion of scalable parallel software architecture.
