Formal Semantics for the DRMA Programming Style Subset of the BSPlib Library
Résumé
BSPlib is a programming library for C and Fortran which supports bulk synchronous parallelism (BSP). This paper is about a formal semantics for the DRMA programming style of the BSPlib library. The aim is to study the behavior of BSPlib programs and to propose some syntactic characterizations used to provide guarantees on semantic properties. This work is the basis for future tools dedicated to the validation of BSPlib programs.
