SUMMARY:Ypnos: Declarative\, Parallel Structured Grid Programming - Domini

DESCRIPTION:A fully automatic\, compiler-driven approach to parallelisatio
 n can result in unpredictable time and space costs for compiled code. \nOn
  the other hand\, a fully manual approach to\nparallelisation can be long\
 , tedious\, prone to errors\, hard to debug\, and often architecture-speci
 fic.\nThis talk presents a declarative domain-specific language\, Ypnos\, 
 for expressing structured grid computations which encourages manual specif
 ication of causally sequential operations but then allows a simple\, predi
 ctable\, static analysis to generate optimised\, parallel implementations.
  Ypnos is sufficiently restricted such that optimisation and parallelisati
 on is guaranteed.
