Reasoning about Inherent Parallelism in Object-Oriented Programs using Ownership Types
Craik, Andrew J. & Kelly, Wayne A. (2008) Reasoning about Inherent Parallelism in Object-Oriented Programs using Ownership Types. In ACSC '08 Proceedings of the thirty-first Australasian conference on Computer science, ACM, pp. 27-36.
The principal premise of this paper is that as a field, we do not currently have a suitable conceptual framework for reasoning about inherent parallelism. We have techniques called dependence analysis for determining the safety of parallelization, but these techniques do not provide a basis for abstraction and so do not scale well to entire applications that are large, complex and developed from components. This paper seeks to extend both the principles and practice of parallel programming by proposing a new abstraction for reasoning about inherent parallelism and uses that abstraction to develop a set of sufficient conditions for data parallel loops.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from and citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
