Description
Summary:Concurrent programming tools strive to exploit hardware resources as much as possible. Nonetheless, the lack of high level abstraction of such tools often require from the user a reasonable amount of knowledge in order to achieve satisfactory performance requirements as well as they do not prevent error prone situations. In this paper we present Kanga, a framework based on the abstractions of skeletons to provide a generic tool that encapsulate many common parallel patterns. Through two case studies we validate the framework implementation.
