Abstract

Language constructs (and their implementations) for execution mode management and achieving the overlap of control unit and processor operations in an explicitly parallel programming language are described. These are targeted for reconfigurable parallel processing systems, where the machine's processors are capable of operating in both the SIMD and SPMD modes of parallelism. (The SPMD (Single Program - Multiple Data) mode of parallelism is a subset of the MIMD mode where all processors execute the same program.) By providing all aspects of the language with an SIMD and an SPMD version that are syntactically and semantically equivalent, the language facilitates experimentation with and exploitation of hybrid SIMD/SPMD machines.
