Abstract

This paper argues that algorithmic skeletons are a suitable programming model for multi-core architectures. The high-level abstractions offered by algorithmic skeletons provide a simple way for non-parallel programmers to address parallel programming. Previous algorithmic skeleton frameworks and libraries have addressed distributed computing environments such as Clusters and Grids. This paper proposes a parallel skeleton library, Skandium; and concludes, after an experimental evaluation, that algorithmic skeletons are an effective methodology to program multi-core architectures.
