Abstract

The aim of this paper is to promote the idea of developing reusable coordination patterns for parallel computing, i.e. customizable components from which parallel applications can be built by software composition. To illustrate the idea, a fundamental manager/worker coordination pattern useful for programming a variety of parallel applications is presented.
