'''[[Multithreaded programming|Multithreaded]], [[Parallel programming model|Parallel]], and Distributed programmingProgramming''' ('''MPD''') is a [[concurrent programming language]] whose [[Syntax (programming languages)|syntax]] is derived from the one used in the book ''Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed Programming''. The name thus lists the distinguishing features of the [[programming language|language]], namely that it supports all three of these concurrent programming techniques.

MPD is implemented as a variant of the [[SR programming language]]. It has a different [[parser]], but it uses the same intermediate form and run-time system as SR. Consequently, MPD provides the same variety of [[Concurrent (programming)|concurrent programming]] mechanisms as does SR.

'''Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed programming''' ('''MPD''') is a [[concurrent programming language]] whose syntax is derived from the one used in the book ''Foundations of Multithreaded, Parallel, and Distributed Programming'' The name thus lists the distinguishing features of the language, namely that it supports all three of these concurrent programming techniques.

MPD programs can execute on single [[computer processor|processors]], [[shared-memory]] multiprocessors[[multiprocessor]]s, or clusters of (homogeneous) processors. The implementation transparently supports a variety of different kinds of processors and [[Unix]] systems.
