Another approach to parallel programming

Show all headers | View raw

    In recent years, I have been concerned about parallel programming in a new way.
    Gradually I formed an idea about a approach of imperative parallel programming.

    -------------
    Let f(a,b,c,...) be any function(or subroutine), we define that a,b,c,... can be executed parallelly,
    and f depends on a,b,c,... so it executes after its arguments.
        and I think it can be a basic primitive of imperative parallel programming.

    Next we define block "to{...}" and block "do{...}" (in library)
    "to" is a null function with variable arguments to represent parallel sentences.
    "do" is a function "do(a,func b()) {b();}" with argments "a" and a closure "b" (continuation-passing style) to represent sequential sentences.
    And then the instruction-level parallel programming can be easily implemented based on f.

    It can be compiled into vm bytecode/ VLIW architecture code / os-based threads.
    ------------

    Sorry about my broken English. Now I plan to implement a new
   language based on the above idea. I think this language will be useful
   and convenient for parallel programming.
