About the Book

The design and implementation of software systems is of increasing importance. Such a system must find a balance between the simplicity of the interface presented and the efficiency with which it can be implemented. This thesis considers work in the area and proposes a new approach. The author proposes a system which presents the user with a selection of independent "algorithmic skeletons", each of which describes the structure of a particular style of algorithm. The user must describe a solution to a problem as an instance of the appropriate skeleton. The implementation task is simplified by the fact that each skeleton may be considered independently, in contrast to the monolithic programming interfaces of many existing systems at a similar level of abstraction The four skeletons presented in this book are based on the notions of "recursive divide and conquer", "task queues", "iterative combination" and "clustering". Each skeleton is introduced in terms of the abstraction it presents to the user. Implementation on a square grid of autonomous processor-memory pairs is considered. Finally, examples of problems which could be solved in terms of the skeleton are presented. In conclusion, the strengths and weaknesses of the "skeletal" approach are assessed in the context of the existing alternatives.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Generating and controlling parallelism: the spectrum of existing systems. Part 2 Algorithmic skeletons - a new approach: the abstract machine; parallel hardware; the implementation. Part 3 The recursive divide and conquer skeleton: abstract specification; implementing the skeleton; analysis of implementations; partial trees. Part 4 The task queue skeleton: the abstract specification; the structure of an implementation; implementing the queue; implementing the data structure. Part 5 The iterative combination skeleton: abstract specification; a parallel implementation technique; implementation on an idealized grid; fixed size grids and redistribution with a shortage of objects; alternative approaches. Part 6 The cluster skeleton: an alternative approach to skeleton construction; motivating a new skeleton; implementing the skeleton. Part 7 Conclusions; The case for skeletons; future directions.
