Algorithmic skeleton
open-in-new
<p> In <a href="/facts/Computing/Kghtm9fX">computing</a>, algorithmic skeletons, or parallelism patterns, are a high-level <a href="/facts/Parallel_programming_model/20l85p0g">parallel programming model</a> for parallel and distributed computing. </p><p>Algorithmic skeletons take advantage of common programming patterns to hide the complexity of parallel and distributed applications. Starting from a basic set of patterns (skeletons), more complex patterns can be built by combining the basic ones. </p>
