Line 3:

The paradigm was originally invented for parallel computers in the 1980s, especially computers built with [[transputer]] microprocesors by [[INMOS]], or similar architectures. It evolved to meet deficiencies in the [[message passing]] paradigm of [[Occam]] and enable uniform efficiency when porting applications between distributed memory and shared memory parallel computers.

The first example of the paradigm appears in the programming language [[Ease (Programmingprogramming language)|Ease]] designed at Yale University in 1990. Similar models have appeared since in the loose combination of SQL databases and objected oriented languages such as [[Java]], often referred to as object-relational models and widely used in large scale distributed systems today. The paradigm is likely to appear on desktop computers as microprocessors increase the number of processors (cores) per chip.
