Abstract
It is desirable to replace supercomputers with low cost networks of computers to run computationally intensive programs. To alleviate the burden of writing distributed programs, automatic translation of sequential to distributed programs is highly recommended. In this paper a new architecture to support automatic translation of sequential to distributed programs is offered. A formal specification of the structure and behavior of the architecture components is presented. The applicability of the specified architecture is demonstrated by presenting its implementation details and evaluating the performance of the resultant distributed program.
