Parallel programming

Book ·
OSTI ID:5384681
This book examines the major hardware developments and programming concepts that have influenced the introduction of parallelism. It provides an overview of some of the features of specific machine architectures and their interaction with developments in software technology. The independent areas of multiprocessor and distributed programming, programming array and vector processors, and data flow programming are also examined in detail. Topics covered include: hardware technology developments; software technology developments; mutual exclusion; process synchronization; message passing primitives; Modula-2; Pascal Plus; Ada; Occam: a distributed computing language; Cray-1 FORTRAN translator: CFT; CDC Cyber FORTRAN; Illiac IV CFD FORTRAN; distributed array processor FORTRAN; Actus: a Pascal-based language; data flow programming.
