    The success of the von Neumann model of sequential computation is due to its ability to efficiently bridge software and hardware. The author argues a similar bridge is needed for parallel computation to become widely used. The article introduces the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model as a candidate for this bridge between parallel software and hardware. It provides results showing the BSP model can efficiently implement high-level languages and algorithms and be efficiently implemented in hardware.

    The success of the von Neumann model of

    sequential computation is attributable to the


    fact that it is an efficient bridge between software and hardware: high-level languages
    can be efficiently compiled on to this model; yet it can be efficiently implemented in
    hardware. The author argues that an analogous bridge between software and hardware
    is required for parallel computation if that is to become as widely used. This article
    introduces the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model as a candidate for this role, and
    gives results quantifying its efficiency both in implementing high-level language
    features and algorithms, as well as in being implemented in hardware.
