Abstract
The main goal of this work is to provide a set of tools able to give direct support for the most known parallel processing techniques when developing parallel application. Our approach departs from the classification of parallel computing paradigms and the associated parallelization techniques and from the definition of a set of structures and procedural interfaces able to partially solve the problems associated with these paradigms. Defining the concept of Parallel Computational Frames (PCF) we propose a way to combine different parallelization techniques to solve a complex problems. Moreover we provide an interactive graphical development environment, XHive, in which the whole applications development take place.
