Abstract

We implemented a skeleton library allowing the C programmer to write parallel programs using skeleton abstractions to structure and exploit parallelism. The library exploits a SPMD execution model in order to achieve the correct, parallel execution of the skeleton programs (which are not SPMD) onto workstation cluster architectures. Plain TCP/IP sockets have been used as the process communication mechanism. Experimental results are discussed that demonstrate the effectiveness of our skeleton library.
