Writing Concurrent Object-Oriented Programs using Smalltalk-80

T. P. Hopkins * and M. I. Wolczko

Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK

This paper considers a number of ways in which concurrent programs may be expressed within an object-oriented framework. It goes on to describe work investigating the expression of highly parallel programs in a conventional object-oriented language (Smalltalk-80). The relevance of this work to a new parallel object-oriented system is discussed. An implementation of an ‘eager’ evaluator is described, together with a ‘throttling’ mechanism capable of limiting the generation of concurrent processes. A system for suspending all processes performing a parallel computation is discussed. Finally, further work in investigating debugging environments for concurrent object-oriented systems is outlined.

Received July 1988. revised September 1988.
