Parallelism in the icicle programming environment

Robert Sheehan

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Parallelism is essential in any programming environment used to produce simulations and interactive games. These are just the sorts of program most children would like to produce. Unfortunately parallel programming is hard. Icicle, a programming by demonstration environment, supports the production of the most common forms of parallelism in a straightforward way and allows complete control over parallel behaviour using more advanced features.
