Making Asynchronous Parallelism Safe for the World
(link)
Guy L. Steele, Thinking Machines Corporation, 1990
Here we propose a programming model with the benefits of both styles. We allow asynchronous threads of control but restrict shared-memory accesses and other side effects so as to prevent the behavior of the program from depending on any accidents of execution order that can arise from the indeterminacy of the asynchronous process model. This paper and the ones below may be of special interest in light of the current discussion of modern parallel computer architectures. |
