Abstract :
Considers general-purpose and problem-specific tools for parallel problem solving. A comparison is made between the two approaches, in terms of effort and usefulness, for two example problems. The advantages of special-purpose, problem-specific environments are described, and the effort required to construct such environments is seen to be reasonable
