The CC++ Parallel Programming Language

Abstract

CC++ is a parallel programming language based on the C++ programming language. The CC++ system consists of the CC++ compiler and a runtime environment. The runtime environment is called Nexus and provides support for implementing a wide range of task parallel programming languages. CC++ has three constructs for explicitly introducing parallel operations. Parallel computation in CC++ is expressed using parallel blocks, parallel loops, or unstructured parallel execution. For synchronization, CC++ provides synchronization variables and atomic functions. CC++ has an explicit locality model in which the programmer can distingish between objects that are inexpensive to access and objects that can be expensive to access.
