ab: Summary: Structured parallel programs ought to be conceived as two separate
    and complementary entities: computation, which expresses the
    calculations in a procedural manner, and coordination, which abstracts
    the interaction and communication. By abstracting commonly used
    patterns of parallel computation, communication, and interaction,
    algorithmic skeletons enable programmers to code algorithms without
    specifying platform-dependent primitives. This article presents a
    literature review on algorithmic skeleton frameworks (ASKF), parallel
    software development environments furnishing a collection of
    parameterizable algorithmic skeletons, where the control flow, nesting,
    resource monitoring, and portability of the resulting parallel program
    is dictated by the ASKF as opposed to the programmer. Consequently, the
    ASKF can be positioned as high-level structured parallel programming
    enablers, as their systematic utilization permits the abstract
    description of programs and fosters portability by focusing on the
    description of the algorithmic structure rather than on its detailed
    implementation.
