PIN - the language for parallel/distributed environment

: PIN is a proposal of the language for parallel programming. This article further elaborates on ideas presented in [6] and introduces the object oriented approach to the language design. The motivation from articles [5] and [6]---to implement a simple general queuing simulation system in a parallel/distributed environment---still raises many questions. However, the PIN language is not intended to be designed as a specialized simulation language. PIN is based on the idea of the generative communication mechanism which was firstly implemented in the system named Linda [2]. Keywords: Event-driven simulation, parallel programming, generative communication, Linda. 1 Introduction Simulation systems are designed to simulate behaviour of real systems that are essentially parallel. A simple thought leads to the conclusion that a parallel implementation of the simulation model is more natural. But multiprocessor computers are still not very common, and their commercial usage is restricted to..
