Abstract

This chapter will be totally different from previous chapters as so far there is no really grand new parallel programming language to be used already. What people have are only the parallel facilities parasitically affiliated to the existing languages. The discussions before mainly focus on the issues of compilation of sequential programming languages, and in this chapter and the following chapter we will discuss the issues on the compilation of parallel languages. Is it important? The answer is definitely yes. Because in the new century, no doubt, parallel computers will dominate the whole market of computers. Then developing programs for this kind of computers will be the must if some one wants to be the programmer of the new century. Of course he/she also needs to know how his/her programs are compiled by the corresponding compilers. It is not exaggerating that parallel compilation will become the main theme in compiler field.
