Abstract

Pandore II is an environment designed for parallel execution of imperative sequential programs on distributed memory parallel computers (DMPCs). It comprises a compiler, libraries for different target distributed computers and execution analysis tools. No specific knowledge of the target machine is required of the user: only the specification of data decomposition is left to his duty. The purpose of the paper is to present the overall design of the Pandore II environment. The high performance C input language is described and the main principles of the compilation and optimization techniques are presented. An example is used along the paper to illustrate the development process from a sequential C program with the Pandore II environment
