ISETL-LINDA: Parallel Programming with Bags

. This paper describes the parallel language ISETL-LINDA.The language is an extension of ISETL, an imperative language whosemain data structure is the set. We extend ISETL by adding a new type ofdistributed bags, and operations to act on bags which correspond to theLINDA primitives. However, we use a variant of LINDA created at theUniversity of York which replaces the problematic inp and rdp primitivesby a single primitive, collect.After describing the language, we give an example of...
