Parallel models are implemented in several ways: as libraries invoked from traditional sequential languages, as language extensions, or complete new execution models. They are also roughly categoried for two kinds of systems: shared-memory system and distributed-memory system, though the lines between them are largely blured nowadays.

A program model is usually judged by its expressibility and simplicity, which are by all meanings conflicting factors. The ultimate goal is to improve productivity of programming.

Currenty main-stream parallel programming models are:

Line 12 ⟶ 14:

* [[High Performance Fortran|HPF]]

* [[SHMEM]]

Other reseach-level models are:

* Cray’s Chapel,

* Sun’s Fortress,

* IBM’s X10
