Abstract

This article presents a survey of language features for distributed memory multiprocessor systems (DMMs), in particular, systems that provide features for data partitioning and distribution. In these systems the programmer is freed from consideration of the low‐level details of the target architecture in that there is no need to program explicit processes or specify interprocess communication. Programs are written according to the shared memory programming paradigm but the programmer is required to specify, by means of directives, additional syntax or interactive methods, how the data of the program are decomposed and distributed.
