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, runtime systems for different machines, and a set
of scalable parallel libraries. Implementations exist for 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 presents 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.
