Re: OpenMP and parallel programming languages

Hi Neal,


If you want to count research languages, there have been many. If
you're interested in C/C++ in particular, you might take a look at
Unified Parallel C (http://upc.gwu.edu/) or Charm++
(http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu). UPC is implemented by several commercial
vendors and is more similar to OpenMP's paradigm. Charm++ by virtue
of its data-driven programming model is quite a different animal.


BTW, there is a Fortran extension that originated at Cray, CoArray
Fortran, that turns out to be more or less a Fortran analogue to UPC.

PS. There is another thread dealing with languages that have as a
design goal high performance. Explicitly parallel languages would of
course be included in that group.
