In large-scale distributed execution environments such as multicluster systems and grids,
resource availability may vary due to resource failures and because resources may be …

Semantics of skeleton-based parallel programming languages comes usually as two distinct
items: a functional semantics, modeling the function computed by the skeleton program, and …

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of COMP Superscalar, a
new and componentised version of the GRID superscalar framework that enables the easy …

Shared memory multiprocessors come back to popularity thanks to rapid spreading of
commodity multi-core architectures. As ever, shared memory programs are fairly easy to …

This chapter presents the main ideas of the high-performance component-based Grid
programming environment of the Grid. it project. High-performance components are …

Current grid-aware applications are implemented on top of low-level libraries by developers
who are experts on grid middleware architecture. This approach can hardly support the …

We define the concepts of nesting mode and interaction mode as they arise in the
description of skeletal parallel programming systems. We suggest that these new concepts …

We advocate the Loop-of-stencil-reduce pattern as a means of simplifying the
implementation of data-parallel programs on heterogeneous multi-core platforms. Loop-of …

This paper focuses on the design of high performance VR applications. These applications
usually involve various I/O devices and complex simulations. A parallel architecture or grid …

We present an evolution of the Lithium parallel programming environment (the muskel Java
package) that implements new features suitable for handling problems arising in typical …
