碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 87 === In this thesis, we develop a high-level task parallel language on top of Cilk runtime system, which is called CCC. CCC supports tasks, parallel sections as concurrency mechanism and message queues as communication mechanism. The message queues help programmers to design more scalable programs. Tasks and parallel sections help programmers to design more structured programs. These features free parallel programmers from worrying about low-level details, such as job dispatch, load balancing and message passing. This allows programmers to concentrate on the development of parallel algorithms. The CCC compiler is responsible for translating the high-level parallel programs into low-level parallel programs.
