Abstract
A programming language which supports the adequate specification of both parallel and sequential aspects of a program establishes the optimal basis for a parallel programming methodology. Parallel languages that are entirely based on textual representations are not the best choice for describing paralellism. The main drawbacks stem from the fact that the sequential order of textual representations hides the parallel structure of a program. We propose a new programming methodology and language (called Meander), integrating textual and graphical descriptions, which is much better suited for parallel programming. Parallel aspects are formulated by means of a specification graph which is annotated by sequential code. Program design, coding and visualization can then be performed in one single formalism which is suitable for all phases.
