A parallel program archetype aids in the development of reliable,
efficient parallel applications with common computation/communication
structures by providing stepwise refinement methods and code libraries
specific to the structure. The methods and libraries help in
transforming a sequential program into a parallel program via a
sequence of refinement steps that help maintain correctness while
refining the program to obtain the appropriate level of granularity
for a target machine. The specific archetype discussed here deals with
the integration of task and data parallelism using group
communication. This archetype has been used to develop several
applications.
