Concurrent Aggregates: Supporting Modularity in Massively Parallel Programs

By Andrew A. Chien

Concurrent Aggregates addresses a key problem in programming languages for massively parallel machines: how to write programs that are both modular and highly concurrent. It describes a novel approach for managing program complexity, based on multi-access data abstractions and combining ideas from object-oriented and data-parallel approaches, that allows programmers to build modular programs without sacrificing concurrency. The concepts are developed and, using application kernels, evaluated for effectiveness and implementability.
