Abstract

One of the difficulties of parallel programming is the gap between the desire of programmers to describe computations with manageable abstractions and the detailed description of parallelism, communication and synchronization required by most parallel programming languages. Since in a parallel program, activities are distributed across both space and time, pictures are much more meaningful than text in program construction. This paper describes a new framework for visual parallel programming based on the concurrency map. Four levels of abstraction are provided in order to reduce the complexity of the construction and to allow fast exploration of different design alternatives. Moreover, the same diagrams that are constructed during the development of a program may also be used to display feedback from its execution. The flexibility of the framework is demonstrated by the implementation of a visual constructor for the occam programming language.<>
一个用于可视化并行编程的框架
并行编程的困难之一是,程序员希望用可管理的抽象来描述计算,而大多数并行编程语言需要详细描述并行性、通信和同步,这两者之间存在差距。由于在并行程序中,活动是跨空间和时间分布的,因此在程序构建中,图片比文本更有意义。本文提出了一种新的基于并发映射的可视化并行编程框架。提供了四个抽象层次,以减少结构的复杂性,并允许快速探索不同的设计方案。此外,在程序开发期间构建的相同的图也可以用于显示其执行的反馈。该框架的灵活性通过occam编程语言的可视化构造函数的实现来证明。
