THE MODULA-2* ENVIRONMENT FOR PARALLEL PROGRAMMING


This paper presents a portable parallel programming environment for
Modula-2*, an explicitly parallel machine-independent extension of
Modula-2. Modula-2* offers synchronous and asynchronous parallelism, a
global single address space, and automatic data and process distribution.
The Modula-2* system consists of a compiler, a debugger, a
cross-architecture make, graphical X Windows control panel, runtime
systems for different machines, and sets of scalable parallel libraries.
The existing implementation targets the MasPar MP series of massively
parallel processors (SIMD), the KSR-1 parallel computer (MIMD),
heterogeneous LANs of workstations (MIMD), and single workstations (SISD).


The paper describes the important components of the Modula-2* environment
and discusses selected implementation issues. We focus on how we achieve
a high degree of portability for our system, while at the same time
ensuring efficiency.
