Additional Patterns for Parallel Application Programs
Berna L. Massingill, Timothy G. Mattson, Beverly A. Sanders · 2003
We are developing a pattern language to guide the programmer through the entire process of developing a parallel application program. The pattern language includes patterns that help find the concurrency in the problem, patterns that help find the appropriate algorithm structure to exploit the concurrency in parallel execution, and patterns describing lower-level implementation issues. Other patterns in the pattern language can be seen at http://www.cise.ufl.edu/ research/ParallelPatterns. In this paper, we briefly outline the overall structure of the pattern language and present selected patterns from the group of patterns that represent different strategies for exploiting concurrency once it has been identified.
