We survey parallel programming models and languages using six criteria to assess their
suitability for realistic portable parallel programming. We argue that an ideal model should …

Structured Parallel Programming offers the simplest way for developers to learn patterns for
high-performance parallel programming. Written by parallel computing experts and industry …

Parallel patterns (eg, map, reduce) have gained traction as an abstraction for targeting
parallel accelerators and are a promising answer to the performance portability problem …

Programming is hard. Building a large program is like constructing a steam locomotive
through a hole the size of a postage stamp. An artefact that is the fruit of hundreds of person …

This chapter first outlines FastFlow design and then shows sample use of the FastFlow
programming environment together with performance results achieved on various state‐of …

Parallel computing has become an important subject in the field of computer science and
has proven to be critical when researching high performance solutions. The evolution of …

Current GPUs are massively parallel multicore processors optimised for workloads with a
large degree of SIMD parallelism. Good performance requires highly idiomatic programs …

Structured parallel programs ought to be conceived as two separate and complementary
entities: computation, which expresses the calculations in a procedural manner, and …

We present SkePU, a C++ template library which provides a simple and unified interface for
specifying data-parallel computations with the help of skeletons on GPUs using CUDA and …

Abstracts A new class of models, formalisms, and mechanisms has recently evolved for
describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “CO …
