Abstract
We propose a modest collection of primitives for synchronization and control in parallel numerical algorithms. These are phrased in a syntax that is compatible with FORTRAN, creating a publication language for parallel software. A preprocessor may be used to map code written in this extended FORTRAN into standard FORTRAN with calls to the run-time libraries of the various parallel systems now in use. We solicit the reader's comments on the clarity, as well as the adequacy, of the primitives we have proposed.
