The Paragon project is directed toward the identification and exploration of programming
methodologies to be used for the development of large-scale scientific applications on
modern parallel computers. The Paragon environment consists of a set of data-parallel
programming constructs and a flexible run-time environment. Among the salient features of
Paragon are a data-parallel programming paradigm that is applicable to a wide variety of
high-performance architectures, a practical abstraction of data distribution through the shape …
