Integrating multiple programming paradigms on Connection Machine CM5 in a dataflow-based software environment

By viewing different parallel programming paradigms as essential heterogeneous approaches in mapping real-world problems to parallel systems, we discuss methodologies in integrating multiple programming models on a Connection Machine CM5. In a data flow based integration model built in a visualization software AVS, we demonstrate a simple, effective and modular way to couple sequential, data-parallel and explicit message-passing modules into an integrated programming environment on the CM5
