Abstract
In this paper we introduce T++: a parallel language with object-oriented features designed for Multi-SIMD parallel computers. We propose a new approach to express simultaneously task and data parallelism. We describe the advantages of an object-oriented approach and what kind of semantics we choose to structure our task-data-parallelism. Finally, we explain how to implement it efficiently on a proprietary Multi-SIMD architecture: the SYMPHONIE concept.
