Description
Summary:GOP is a graph‐oriented programming model which aims at providing high‐level ions for configuring and programming cooperative parallel processes. With GOP, the programmer can configure the logical structure of a parallel/distributed program by constructing a logical graph to represent the communication and synchronization between the local programs in a distributed processing environment. This paper describes a visual programming environment, called VisualGOP, for the design, coding, and execution of GOP programs. VisualGOP applies visual techniques to provide the programmer with automated and intelligent assistance throughout the program design and construction process. It provides a graphical interface with support for interactive graph drawing and editing, visual programming functions and automation facilities for program mapping and execution. VisualGOP is a generic programming environment independent of programming languages and platforms. GOP programs constructed under VisualGOP can run in heterogeneous parallel/distributed systems.
