TY - CPAPER AB - Darwin is a configuration language which allows distributed and parallel programs to be structured interns of groups of process instances which communicate by message passing. In addition to expressing static structure, Darwin can be used to express structures which change dynamically as execution progresses. The paper presents a set of examples illustrating the use of Darwin in constructing parallel programs. Since processes can be considered to be an abstraction of physical processors, Darwin can also be used to describe the hardware structure of distributed memory multicomputers in terms of processors and their interconnection. The paper illustrates this for a multicomputer constructed from transputers and shows its use in the process of mapping the logical structure of a parallel program to the physical hardware.
