This paper gives a short overview on PACLIB, a new system for parallel algebraic computation on shared memory computers. PACLIB has been developed as a professional tool for the simple design and efficient implementation of parallel algorithms in computer algebra and related areas. It provides concurrency, shared memory communication, non-determinism, speculative parallelism, streams and pipelining and a parallelized garbage collection. PACLIB has been implemented on a Sequent Symmetry multiprocessor and is portable to other shared memory machines and workstations.
