In recent years, there have been a significant number of new languages and libraries proposed that are specifically designed to support parallel computation. However, one big challenge still remains: to make these tools understood and used by scientists, engineers, and others who want to exploit the power of parallel computers without spending much effort in mastering those tools. Therefore, our goal is to make parallel programming on distributed-memory MIMD computers easy to understand and to make efficient parallel code easy to design. In particular, we concentrate on dynamic problems. These problems are difficult to implement efficiently in parallel for they are unpredictable and asynchronous. To that end, we provide the parallel programmer with both a {open_quotes}programming style{close_quotes} and a tool that supports that style. By using them, the user can achieve both portability and good performance.
