Abstract
This thesis proposes a new model of parallel computation,
the Parallel Asynchronous Recursion (PAR) model. The model is
asynchronous, and provides a high level process based abstraction,
eliminating the need to explicitly schedule tasks on processors. It
is shown that the PAR model can be efficiently simulated on both a
RAM (Random Access Machine) and a PRAM (Parallel Random Access
Machine). Therefore, the extra level of abstraction provided by the
PAR Model can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
