MPD is a new programming language that has a syntax very close to the
|
||
|
|
one used in the book Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and
|
||
|
|
Distributed Programming. The name of the language comes from the first
|
||
|
|
three letters of the main words of the title of the book:
|
||
|
|
Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed. These words also capture a
|
||
|
|
distinguishing aspect of the language, namely that it supports all
|
||
|
|
three of these concurrent programming techniques.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MPD is implemented as a variant of the SR programming language. It has
|
||
|
|
a different parser, but it uses the same intermediate form and
|
||
|
|
run-time system as SR. Consequently, MPD provides the same variety of
|
||
|
|
concurrent programming mechanisms as does SR.
