Abstract

In this paper [1] we present a methodology, template-based program restructuring, for transforming sequential programs into distributed programs. First we describe the two-step restructuring process: partitioning the sequential program into processes, followed by template instantiation to realize the induced communication. We describe a series of small experiments from which the methodology was derived. Finally, we enumerate areas for future work, including formalization of template concepts and a means for their expression, and possible tools for implementation.
