'''[[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.

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.
