Description :
OCamlP3l is a compiler for Caml parallel programs.
The OCamlP3l programming paradigm is skeleton programming. The skeletons encapsulate basic parallel programming patterns in a well understood and structured approach. Based on P3L, the Pisa Parallel Programming Language, OCamlP3l skeleton algebra is embedded in a full-fledged functional programming language, namely Objective Caml.
The skeleton programming approach used in OCamlP3l allows three different operational interpretations of the same source program:
* the sequential interpretation which is deterministic, hence easy to understand and debug, * the parallel interpretation using a network of computing nodes run in parallel to speed up the computation, * the graphical interpretation, which is run to obtain a drawing of the parallel computing network deployed at run-time by the parallel interpretation.
