Abstract
The Agha and Hewitt Actor model [ 1,3,4 ] is a natural extension of the object paradigm as we know it to the field of parallel programming. The model respects the primary principles of object-oriented programming, i.e. abstraction of data and encapsulation, making object-oriented programming a good tool for the programming of parallel computers. We describes one Actor model implementation on a distributed memory parallel machine: the CLAP actor language. We explain why the Actor model can express, on distributed memory parallel machines, the natural parallelism of applications and offer other properties useful for programming this type of machine. We then discuss the implementation, currently in its final phase, of the Actor model on a distributed memory parallel machine.
