Abstrakt
Parallel and high-performance code is usually created as imperative code in FORTRAN, C, C++ with the help of parallel environments like OpenMP or Intel TBB. However, learning these languages is quite difficult compared to C# or Java.
Although these modern languages have numerous parallel features, they lack the automatic parallelization or load distribution features known from specialized parallel environments. Due to the referential nature of C# and Java, the principles of parallel environments like OpenMP cannot be directly transferred to these languages.
We investigated the idea of using C# as a programming language for a parallel system based on nonlinear pipelines. In this paper, we propose the architecture of such system and describe some key steps that we have already taken towards the future goal of extracting both the pipeline structure and the code of the nodes from the C# source code.
