pC++

pC++ is a portable parallel C++ which permits data-parallel style operations using "collection of objects" from some base "element" class. Member functions from this element class can be applied to the entire collection in parallel. This allow programmers to compose distributed data structures with parallel execution semantics.

pC++ also includes a mechanism for encapsulating SPMD style computation in a thread-based computing model.
