Abstract: ing Away the Granularity Level: The Fundamental Principles Having argued for the separation of parallelism issues from those that are related to computation rules, we now concentrate on the fundamental principles governing parallelism in the different models proposed. We argue that moving a principle from one system to another can often be done quite easily if another such "separation" is performed: isolating the principle itself from the level of granularity at which it is applied. This means viewing the parallelizing principle involved as associated to a generic concept of thread, to be particularized for each system, according to the fundamental unit of parallelism used in such system. As an example, and following these ideas, the fundamental principle of determinism used in the basic Andorra model can be applied to the &-Prolog system. The basic unit of parallelism considered when parallelizing programs in the classical &-Prolog tools is the subtree corresponding to the complete r...
