The Automap Project

Description

The Automap project aims at the development of a task parallel coordination language and associated programming environment for the development of dynamic applications for distributed-memory machines.

Some of the features:

new, yet simple shared-memory language paradigm
task and data parallelism using same language constructs
explicit, yet highly structured operators for static synchronization and mutual exclusion
capable of describing dynamic/irregular computations
entirely automatic task and data mapping for full portability
