Abstract

In this paper, we introduce object--oriented programs as sets of communicating objects. We investigate possibilities for their concurrent execution, starting with a review of existing concurrent, object--oriented systems. Most of these systems introduce new programming--language features, forcing a programmer to control concurrency by hand. In contrast, we prefer automatic parallelization of programs. For this purpose, we introduce a concurrent, object--based execution model. 1 Introduction The aim of this work is to take programs written in an object--oriented language and execute them in parallel on a set of processors. The object--oriented language will thus play the role of an &quot;executable specification&quot; without any implication of an execution mode (sequential or parallel). As it is widely accepted, significant improvements of computing power will, in the near future, only be achieved by the use of multi--processor architectures in which numerous processing elements share the app...
