Abstract:

We present CAMLFLOW, a custom CAML to data-flow graph (DFG) compiler. CAMLflow was designed to provide a front-end to various implementation-level parallel programming CASE tools taking DFGs for algorithm sepcification. It allows large and complex DFGs to be described in a textual and concise manner, using the facilities of the CAML functional language. Compared to other graph notation systems, the main originality of CAMLflow lies in its ability to define higher-order, polymorphic graph patterns.
