Summary

Statements can be executed in parallel instead of in sequence. Parallel statements can be indicated by special brackets such as cobegin and coend. The one rule is complete independence with no shared variables. Many structures can be processed in parallel--for instance arrays. For loops can be processed in parallel. Procedures can be processed with one process for each possible parameter value. Path expressions can be executed in parallel. On Unix and other systems, the user can execute any number of commands at once. Parallel statements may be executed order-independently instead of concurrently. This allows compiler determination of the optimal statement sequence. (cbb 5/80)

Quote: subscripts on processes indicate duplicate processes with different values for the indicated variables [»hoarCA8_1978]

Subtopic: disjoint processes

Quote: structured multi-programming requires disjoint processes that begin and end at the same place; allows sequential analysis cause of independence [»brinP12_1973, OK]
Quote: every process in a parallel command must be disjoint; i.e., shared variables are read-only [»hoarCA8_1978]
