Testing of concurrent programs is much more difficult than that of sequential programs. A concurrent program behaves nondeterministically, that is, the program may produce differe...
Abstract. Distributing process-oriented programs across a cluster of machines requires careful attention to the effects of network latency. The MPI standard, widely used for cluste...
Due to the strong increase of processing units available to the end user, expressing parallelism of an algorithm is a major challenge for many researchers. Parallel applications ar...
Dryad is a general-purpose distributed execution engine for coarse-grain data-parallel applications. A Dryad application combines computational “vertices” with communication ...

In many concurrent programming languages programs are difficult to extend and modify. This is because changes in a concurrent program (either through modification or extension) re...
