A Parallel Programming Model With Sequential Semantics

Abstract

Parallel programming is more difficult than sequential programming in part because of the complexity of reasoning, testing, and debugging in the context of concurrency. In the thesis, we present and investigate a parallel programming model that provides direct control of parallelism in a notation with sequential semantics. Our model consists of a standard sequential imperative programming notation extended with the following three pragmas.
