Abstract

We present results of the characterization of parallel architectures for the execution of algorithms developed using object-oriented languages. Object-oriented analysis and design are applied to software to yield reusable, reliable, and portable code. Care must be taken to structure the software for efficient execution while avoiding implementation dependencies that bind the software to a specific parallel architecture. Characterization results for several relevant parallel machine architectures are described based on algorithms for coded object-oriented computer languages
