ParC++: a simple extension of C++ to parallel systems

The ParC++ system is an object oriented programming and execution environment, based on a programming model that aims the development of portable, efficient and scalable parallel applications. The paper presents the main components in the ParC++ system: a pre-processor-that supports a parallel extension to C++ objects and extracts parallelism from standard C++ code-and a run-time system-that dynamically adapts the grain size of parallel activities, according to the computing and communication system load.
