Abstract

There is a growing need for parallel programming software tools that make writing parallel programs easier. The goal is to provide transparent communication in a message passing multiprocessor environment. We have implemented a software package using C++ that meets this need. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of Global Pointers over C++ and Active Messages. In addition, several issues concerning implementation and solutions are discussed. A performance summary and a few examples of the use of our system are included.
