Programming with Intervals |
| Nicholas D. Matsakis, Thomas R. Gross, Programming with Intervals, Proceedings of the International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing (LCPC 2009), October 2009. [paper.pdf] |
| Intervals are a new, higher-level primitive for parallel programming with which programmers directly construct the program schedule. Programs using intervals can be statically analyzed to ensure that they do not deadlock or contain data races. In this paper, we demonstrate the flexibility of intervals by showing how to use them to emulate common parallel control-flow constructs like barriers and signals, as well as higher-level patterns such as bounded-buffer producer-consumer. We have implemented intervals as a publicly available library for Java and Scala. |
