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 …

Increasingly heterogeneous and hierarchical parallel architectures are now mainstream,
however, most of the traditional programming models are lowlevel and explicit, limiting …

In this paper, we propose a straightforward solution to the problems of compositional parallel
programming by using skeletons as the uniform mechanism for structured composition. In …

Data mining over large data-sets is important due to its obvious commercial potential.
However, it is also a major challenge due to its computational complexity. Exploiting the …

Programming models based on algorithmic skeletons promise to raise the level of
abstraction perceived by programmers when implementing parallel applications, while …

In this paper, we present a new approach to develo** a general framework for efficient
FPGA based Image Processing algorithms. This approach is based on the new concept of …

Algorithmic skeletons provide a promising basis for the automatic utilisation of parallelism at
sites of higher order function use through static program analysis. However, decisions about …

There is a growing interest in heterogeneous high performance computing environments.
These systems are difficult to program owing to the complexity of choosing the appropriate …

In this paper, we present our approach to develo** a general framework for FPGA based
Image Processing. This framework is based on a library of hardware skeletons. A hardware …

In this paper we provide a view of the design and development activity concerning advanced
environments for parallel and distributed computing. We start from assessing the main …
