Abstract
A method for executing application programs written in a high level program language on tightly coupled multiprocessor systems in a Multiple Instruction/Multiple Data (MIMD) environment includes the steps of: initializing a MIMD environment in a data processing system by a call to an initialization routine from an application program; maintaining the MIMD environment until all independently executable portions of the application program have been executed; scheduling execution of those tasks representing independently executable portions of the application program; synchronizing execution and completion of the tasks until all tasks have completed execution; terminating the MIMD environment on completion of all the tasks.
