Abstract

Frameworks for parallel computing have recently becomepopular as a means for preserving parallel algorithms as areusable components.Frameworks for parallel computingin general, and POET in particular, focus on finding waysto orchestrate cooperation between objects implementingparallel algorithms.POET seeks to be a general platformfor scientific parallel algorithm components which can bemodified, linked, "mixed and matched" to a user's specification.The paper centers on the characteristics that allow these Components to cooperate, and at the same time, remain "black-boxes" that users can drop into the flame withouthaving to know the exquisite details of message-passing data layout, ect.
