Abstract
Linda, a set of commands that can be added to an arbitrary programming language N to form the N-Linda parallel programming language, is described. Linda enables users to use parallelism efficiently for many applications on a wide range of machines. Linda helps parallel languages meet the following four goals: (1) to augment but not replace the (serial) programming language most suitable to solve the problem at hand; (2) to support both process creation and interprocess communication; (3) to be portable; and (4) to be easy to use.<>
