Examples of skeleton
skeleton

We use algorithmic skeletons to partially achieve this goal.
Similarly, the collections of computation and reorganization skeletons could be extended.
We build upon this approach, and provide two new collections of skeletons to the programmer: the communication skeletons and the mask skeletons.
The skeletons of non-photosymbiotic corals appear to show no isotopic fractionation, and so faithfully record sea-water temperature changes.
Figure 1 depicts the skeletons we present in this paper, and their dependences.
Ignoring the scalar code between the two spmd skeletons makes them perfect candidates for merging.
To ensure the affinity of cost expressions, conditionals are constrained to be mask skeletons whose condition characterizes a convex polytope.
Another important restriction is that expressions involving iteration indexes (mask skeletons, communication skeletons and iterfor bounds) are affine.
The four reorganization skeletons are zip, unzip, makearray and append.
Their skeletons are less restricted than ours leading to an approximate parallel cost (communication or/and computation).
They make it possible to describe highlevel languages enjoying important properties without preventing further extensions (by adding new skeletons).
In our approach, the analysis takes into account both load balancing and communication costs, since the collective communications appear explicitly through communication skeletons.
Evidence of malignant neoplasm is extremely rare in antiquity, judging from the thousands of skeletons and mummies which have been examined.
The objects and associated skeletons were literally raised above the ground.
