Gamma programming paradigm and heterogeneous computing

The Gamma programming paradigm is based on the multiset data structure. In this model a succession of chemical reactions consume the elements of the multiset or multiset of tuples, and produce new elements according to specific rules. This paper describes how the Gamma paradigm can be integrated with the entity-relationship (ER) model to structure parallel and distributed programs. Such an integration can permit querying as well as application programming in a seamless fashion based on the notion of transactions and provides for heterogeneous processing. We also describe how to design a scheduler for the Gamma paradigm and how this paradigm is useful in heterogeneous programming
