Our Pattern Language (OPL)

This paper is about parallel pattern language for parallel programming. Over all I like the paper as it gives overview of different parallel patterns but lacks details of any pattern.
The author organized the patterns into layered system. The layers in which the patterns are organized are:
• Architectural patterns
• Computational patterns
• Parallel algorithm strategy patterns
• Implementation strategy patterns
• Concurrent execution patterns
Author defined the full range of design patterns that programmers are likely to encounter when designing software for parallel platforms. he grouped patterns into a language to give conceptual framework view for the developers at each layer.
In near future I like to invest some time in exploring the co-ordination patterns as this parallel world make everything run independently and then co-ordination with others on to finish the tasks. Also security play bit more role than usual as different processor communicates with each other. So designing these items carefully are worthwhile.
