Abstract

This position statement presents a uniform object model of parallel programming that enables use of multiple programming styles, binding parallelism late, and porting programs among a wide variety of architectures. It then argues for concurrent operations on objects, as opposed to mutually exclusive operations on objects, based on orthogonality between encapsulation and concurrency. The final section argues for its relatively novel insistence on uniform control, based on the flexibility it provides the programmer.
