Abstract :
How can a user write a program to be portable and efficient across widely different parallel architectures, such as SIMD, MIMD, shared-memory, distributed memory, workstation clusters, etc.? The following issues are considered: what language should be used; how appropriate is one language for different applications; how efficient can a portable program be; and how will efficiency be achieved
