Explicit parallel processing description and control in programs for multi- and uni-processor computers
John A. Gosden · 1966
This paper discusses the development and current state of the art in parallel processing. The advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches are described from a pragmatic viewpoint. One that is described and discussed is a natural extension of the evolutionary approaches. This alternative covers the problems of locating, describing, controlling, and scheduling parallel processing. It is a general-purpose approach that is applicable to all types of data processing and computer configuration.
