Integrating functional and imperative parallel programming: CC++ solutions to the Salishan problems

We investigate the practical integration of functional and imperative parallel programming in the context of a popular sequential object-based language.

Description
Summary:We investigate the practical integration of functional and imperative parallel programming in the context of a popular sequential object-based language. As the basis of our investigation, we develop solutions to the Salishan problems, a set of problems intended as a standard by which to compare parallel programming notations. The language that we use is CC++, C++ extended with single-assignment variables, parallel composition, and atomic functions. We demonstrate how deterministic parallel programs can be written that are identical/spl minus/except for the addition of a few keywords/spl minus/to sequential programs that satisfy the same specifications.< >
