Abstract
Existing frameworks for parallel and distributed programming either provide poor support for runtime flexibility or are overly restricted in their range of target applications. Here we describe the interface and implementation of the Avalanche framework, which attempts to solve both of these problems. In addition, we present the runtime performance of a canonical parallel algorithm written using Avalanche.
