A planner for the automation of programming environment tasks

Abstract

The authors have developed an approach that significantly reduces the time to develop heterogeneous parallel systems. Current, state-of-the-art environments provide most of the necessary tools but leave to the user the task of coordinating the invocation of the tools. They describe a tool, implemented in the Unix environment, that transforms a set of goals and constraints specified by a user into the correct set of tool invocations.<>
