Abstract

Extensions for conventional programming languages are suggested that allow to write parallel algorithms for distributed memory machines. The main goal of these extensions is to supply a programmer with a strict, precise and transparent language for scientific applications. Main language constructs are discussed with appropriate examples. Performance results for some applications are given.
