Object-oriented development of architecture transparent software for distributed parallel systems

Software Engineering for Effective Utilization of Parallel Processing Computing System

“…The main advantage of this approach is that this methodology separates the architecture dependent issues from the software development. Hence, the programmer does not need to be concerned with issues such as synchronization, parallelization, or the topology of the parallel processing systems thereby making the software development independent of the architecture of the parallel processing system [2]- [4]. The software developed using this approach is easily portable over a variety of parallel computer architectures.…”

“…Thus, D(O 1 , 1) < D (11,4) and there is no gain in parallel processing because the communication overhead has overshadowed the gain of parallel execution.…”

“…A PROOF/L program consists of a set of objects, and its methods are written based on the functional paradigm. Programs, written in PROOF/L will liberate the programmer from the burden of concerning synchronization, parallelization and communication while programming and will also make the design of the software system independent of the parallel processing system architecture [3,4] on which the software is to be implemented. As the programmer is liberated from the burden of concerning synchronization, parallelization, and communication these tasks are performed by the translator which translates the PROOF/L code into any target language.…”
