Abstract
Shape theory is a new approach to data types and programming based on the separation of a data type into its “shape” and “data” parts. Shape is common in parallel computing. This paper identifies areas where the explicit use of shape reduces the burden of programming a parallel computer, using examples from an implementation of Cholesky decomposition
