*Further Information*
*We propose a short introduction to the Data-Parallel programming model. We show that parallel computing often makes little distinction between the execution model and the programming model. This results in poor programming and low portability. Using the "GOTO considered harmful" seminal analogy, we show that data-parallelism can be seen as a way out of this collapsing. We show that this model was already present in several works on parallel programming methodology, and that it can be characterized by a small number of concepts with simple semantics.*
