Abstract. We describe high-level language constructs for specifying parallel programs and show how they may be used to provide modular specification of communication, synchronization and placement. The high-level constructs are translated into actors which provide flexible low-level primitives for interconnecting distributed components and efficient execution on concurrent computers. We argue that our linguistic constructs allow parallel program specifications that are easier to reason about and efficient to implement. 1.
