the provision of parallel software have been followed:
(1) automatic production of parallel code by parallelizing—compilers which
act on sequential programs written in existing languages;
(2) "add on" features to existing languages that enable the programmer to
make use of the parallel computer—these are specific to each machine;
(3) full-blown parallel languages—these could be completely new languages,
but usually they are derived from existing languages;
(4) the provision of tools to aid the programmer in the detection of inherent
parallelism in a given algorithm and in the design and implementation
of parallel programs. [Continues.]
