Summary:Abstract: "A general design methodology FOCUS is applied to parallel program development. The starting point of the development process is a mathematical description of a numerical algorithm. Two kinds of intermediate architecture-independent representations are used: an applicative one based on stream processing functions, and an imperative one based on an abstract SPMD-model of computation. The target parallel program is obtained as a result of consecutively reducing the parallelism of the original specification aiming at the real efficiency. The use of the approach is demonstrated on a real-live example: a two-dimensional integration on a sparse grid. Experimental results of the hypercube- implementation are presented."
