In this paper we present the Orchid system, a new portable and scalable platform for parallel programming, suitable for any type of distributed memory architecture. It includes libraries that facilitate dynamic process allocation, asynchronous process communication, and global process synchronization. It also integrates a set of flexible mechanisms for the implementation of a wide variety of Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) paradigms. As an example, two different DSM paradigms are proposed. Moreover, a new polyparametric model is suggested, which can be used in the performance evaluation of any DSM paradigm. Orchid has been successfully used for the development of a large scale application, i.e. an environment for parallel logic programming, based on attribute grammars. |
