Co-array Python: A Parallel Extension to the Python Language

A parallel extension to the Python language is introduced that is modeled after the Co-Array Fortran extensions to Fortran 95. A new Python module, CoArray, has been developed to provide co-array syntax that allows a Python programmer to address co-array data on a remote processor. An example of Jacobi iteration using the CoArray module is shown and corresponding performance results are presented.
