MONADS-DPV - AN OBJECT-ORIENTED GRAPHICAL SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPING CONCURRENT SOFTWARE SYSTEM

Programming parallel computers, consisting of multiple powerful proces sing elements, is a hard task. A suitable very high level notation is needed by which the programmer can express an algorithm for a given pr oblem in a style both a multiprocessor machine can efficiently execute and, at the same time, can be easily understood by humans. In this pa per a graphical notation is presented facilitating layered structures in object-oriented parallel programs in a way both the graphical and t he textual parts could be easily integrated. Applying our proposed not ation can substantially reduce the efforts of the programmer to make v ery high level programs for high performance parallel computers.
