Abstract

Parallel programming is hard. We present a new approach called Concurrent Collections (CnC). This paper briefly explains why writing a parallel program is hard in the current environment and introduces our new approach based on this perspective. In particular, a CnC program doesn't explicitly express the parallelism. It expresses the constraints on parallelism. These constraints remain valid regardless of the target architecture.
