Abstract

Algorithmic skeletons abstract commonly-used patterns of parallel computation, communication, and interaction. They provide top-down design composition and control inheritance throughout the whole structure. Parallel programs are expressed by interweaving parameterised skeletons analogously to the way sequential structured programs are constructed.

This design paradigm, known as structured parallelism, provides a high-level parallel programming method which allows the abstract description of programs and fosters portability. That is to say, structured parallelism requires the description of the algorithm rather than its implementation, providing a clear and consistent meaning across platforms while their associated structure depends on the particular implementation. By decoupling the structure from the meaning of a parallel program, it benefits entirely from any performance improvements in the systems infrastructure.
