Parallel processing method and system using a lazy parallel data type to reduce inter-processor communication

摘要

A parallel programming system provides a lazy collection oriented data type that reduces inter-processor communication in programs executed on parallel computers. The lazy collection oriented data type is provided as a data type in a parallel programming language. The parallel language supports both data-parallel and control-parallel operations. These operations take advantage of the lazy collection oriented data type to defer or reduce inter-processor communication until an operation on the data type requires that it be balanced across a set of processors.
