Abstract :
This paper proposes a strategy for distributing program fragments by focusing on each variable of which status is modified by actors. The parallel computing environment where users do not need to pay attention to messages is provided. In this strategy distributed memory multiprocessors can execute programs written by procedural languages without any extension. Also, this approach is useful to reduce the amount of data passing through the network. We simulated this strategy for simple problems and found that messages passed among processors efficiently
