Communicating Connected Components: Extending Plug-and-Play to Support Skeletons

Chalmers, Kevin; Kerridge, Jon; Pedersen, Jan B�kgaard

Abstract

For a number of years, the Communicating Process Architecture (CPA) community have developed languages and runtimes supporting message passing concurrency. For these we always provide a set of reusable processes called plug and play. These components provide a rich set of functions to the new CPA programmer, enabling them to develop applications. In this paper, we describe recent work in taking the plug and play ideology and applying it to the area of algorithmic skeletons. We have based our work on the RISC-pb2l specifications of Danelutto et. al. to provide a base set of skeletal components, focusing on the communication behaviours they exhibit.
