Computer-aided programming for message-passing systems: problems and a solution

Article Abstract:

The programming of multiprocessing systems is made more difficult by the increasing number of processors and the increasing complexity of problems to be solved. The development of parallel programs is aided by program development tools; such a toll is described. The tool performs scheduling, inserts communication primitives, and generates performance estimates and other measures of program quality to assist programmers in the improvement of algorithms and programs.
