  • Abstract
    The authors introduce control structures for parallel programming designed to facilitate the process of developing parallel programs. These basic control structures are listed, and are given intuitive sequential and parallel semantics. The parallel versions are then refined to display the power of the various variations that could be used. Named control structures which help synchronize the execution of the different parts of a program are also introduced. In particular, it is noted that the named control structure solves the DOACROSS problem
