Abstract
New trends in High Performance Computing Architectures are arising an old concept, concurrence. But concurrence is not parallelism. To afford parallelism in the new computing arena, parallel applications need to consider this or just being completely rewritten in such a way that parallelism can be expressed by means of concurrence. Abstractions may help to keep performance on the new, and also on the legacy, platforms. This paper shows how abstractions may play an important role when used to model the problem.
