Abstract: The article discusses the use of Linda, a parallel programming system consisting of a few simple operations that embody the tuple space model. Linda consists of a few simple operations that embody the tuple space model of parallel programming. Adding these tuple-space operations to a base language yields a parallel programming dialect. Use of Linda is growing slowly but steadily as versions of the system for beta test are being distributed and as several manufacturers work on their own implementations. But Linda remains stubbornly outside the research mainstream. To write parallel programs, programmers must be able to create and coordinate multiple execution threads. Linda is a model of process creation and coordination that is orthogonal to the base language in which it is embedded. The Linda model does not care how the multiple execution threads in a Linda program compute what they compute. It deals only with how these execution threads are created and how they can be organized into a coherent program.
