Abstract

Skeleton-based libraries are considered as one of the alternatives for reducing the distance between end users and parallel architectures. We propose a general development methodology that allows for the automatic derivation of parallel programs assuming the existence of general structures as the skeletons. We propose the introduction of a new, high level abstraction layer that allows the user to extract problem specifications from particular skeleton languages or libraries. The result is a tool that allows for the generation of parallel codes from successive transformations to this high level specification without any loss of efficiency. We apply the technique to the automatic generation of parallel programs for Dynamic Programming Problems.
