A parallel language provides an executable notation for implementing a parallel algorithm.
Design criteria:
How are parallel operations defined?
static tasks vs. dynamic tasks vs. implicit operations
How is data shared between tasks?
explicit communication/synchronization vs. shared memory
How is the language implemented?
low-overhead runtime systems vs. optimizing compilers
Usually a language reflects a particular type of parallelism.
