Foil 5 What determines when Parallelism is Clear ?

From CPS615-Introduction to Virtual Programming Lab -- Problem Architecture Continued and Start of Real HPF Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 26 September 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 102.2
1 Key idea behind data-parallel languages - and perhaps all good languages
2 The language expresses problem and not the machine architecture
3 Need different approach to express functional parallelism
4 Use"object-oriented" feature when problems has natural objects
5 Do not use "object-oriented" features when objects are artifacts of target machine
6 Need data and functional (object) parallel paradigms in many problems - especially multidisciplinary
