A technique for the visual modeling of parallel algorithms: the PGRAPH language

This paper concerns basic principles for developing parallel-algorithm models based on a visual programming style. The visual modeling of parallel computational processes has the advantage of presenting information visually and so agrees with the nature of human reception much better than conventional textual-programming methods. The proposed technique and the resulting language for the visual presentation of parallel algorithms are of significant practical importance because they simplify and accelerate the development of parallel-computation algorithms.
