The Arc Consistency Problem: a Case Study in Parallel Programming with Shared Objects
Communication through shared objects is a simple model for parallel programming of distributedmemory machines. We describe our experiences with this model for implementing a parallel algorithm for the Arc Consistency Problem. We provide performance measurements of the program on two distributed syst...

Communication through shared objects is a simple model for parallel programming of distributedmemory machines. We describe our experiences with this model for implementing a parallel algorithm for the Arc Consistency Problem.
