Crivelli, E. Jessup] Task-parallel problems are difficult to implement efficiently in parallel because they are asynchronous and unpredictable. The difficulties are compounded on distributedmemory computers where interprocessor communication can impose a substantial overhead. A few languages and libraries have been proposed that are specifically designed to support this kind of computation. However, one big challenge still remains: to make those 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. The PMESC programming paradigm and library presented here are designed to make programming on distributed-memory computers easy to understand and to make efficient parallel code easy to produce. The paradigm provides a methodology for structuring task-parallel problems that allows the separation of different phases in the computation. The library provides support for those phases that are application-independent allowing the users to concentrate on the applicationspecific oues. Springer, 1996 Crivelli S.
