abstract

Nexus is a runtime system integrating lightweight threads and
communication. Nexus supports multiple threads of control, dynamic
processor acquisition, dynamic address space creation, a global memory
model via interprocessor references, and asynchronous events. Nexus is
intended primarily as a compiler target for languages supporting
task-parallel and mixed data- and task-parallel execution; it is currently
targetted by compilers for the parallel languages CC++ and Fortran M.
Nexus is a joint project of Argonne National Laboratory and the
California Institue of Technology.
