This chapter is concerned with programming languages for parallel processing. We first review some basic principles and then use a series of four case studies to illustrate the practical application of these principles. These case studies involve representative systems based on new programming paradigms, explicitly parallel extensions to existing sequential languages, data parallelism, and messagepassing libraries, respectively.
