Summary
The thesis describes the implementation of a Macro Data Flow run-time support for multi-core architectures.
The interpreter is based on the multi-threading paradigm with shared memory communication mechanism.
The interpreter is assumed to be the target back-end for the compilation of high level, structured parallel programs.
Experimental results are shown on state-of-the-art Intel multi-cores. Furthermore the interpreter is compared with a standard industrial tool, such as OpenMP.
