AGILE COMMUNICATION OPERATOR

A high level programming language provides an agile communication operator that generates a segmented computational space for distributing the computational space across compute nodes. The agile communication operator decomposes the computational space into segments, causes the segments to be assigned to compute nodes, and allows the user to centrally manage and automate movement of the segments between the compute nodes. The segment movement may be managed using either a full global-view representation or a local-global-view representation of the segments.
