Abstract|As both the number of processors and the complexity of problems to be solved increase, programming multiprocessing systems becomes more di cult and error-prone. This paper discusses programming assistance and automation concepts and their application to a program development tool for message-passing systems called Hypertool. It performs scheduling and handles the communication primitive insertion automatically. Two algorithms, based on the critical-path method, are presented for scheduling processes statically. Hypertool also generates the performance estimates and other program quality measures to help programmers in improving their algorithms and programs. I.
