Abstract

Combining parallel programming with prototyping is aimed at alleviating parallel programming by enabling the programmer to make practical experiments with ideas for parallel algorithms at a high level, neglecting low-level considerations of specific parallel architectures in the beginning of program development. Therefore, prototyping parallel algorithms is aimed at bridging the gap between conceptual design of parallel algorithms and practical implementation on specific parallel systems. The essential prototyping activities are programming, evaluation and transformation of prototypes. This paper gives a report on some experience with implementing parallel algorithms based on prototype evaluation and transformation employing the ProSet-Linda approach.
