Abstract

Parallel computing in network of workstations is receiving lot of attentions from the research community. However, still it is faced with many practical difficulties. One of the major problems is the lack of high level programming model. Many programming languages provide an efficient system, but employ a relatively low level programming model and rather too complex to be used in network environment. The object oriented system paradigm in software engineering has wide acceptance and provides support for the construction of modular and reusable program components and it is attractive for the design of large and complex serial programs. To address the previous said problem, in this paper we present a flexible, easy to use, and an effective object oriented parallel programming model by amalgamating the object orientation paradigm and parallelism. It is developed on top of PVM. This model exhibits a very convenient and natural programming style and provides functionality similar to C++.
