programming, parallel An environment for programming
networks of sequential and parallel computers. ConCoord
offers two contributions to
concurrent programming. First,
it supports explicit exploitation of a variety of grains of
concurrency. Second, it separates the treatment of sequential
and of concurrent aspects of programming into computation and
"coordination" respectively. Sequential
algorithms can be
reused within computation and concurrent ones within
coordination.
