Various concurrent programming paradigms have been proposed by language designers in an effort to simplify some of the unique constructs required to handle concurrent programming tasks. Despite these different approaches, however, there has been no general clear winner accepted by software developers and different paradigms are regarded to have strengths and weaknesses in certain areas. This thesis was motivated by the desire to investigate the question of whether or not there are measurable differences between two widely differing paradigms for concurrent programming: Threads vs. Communicating Sequential Processes. The mechanism for observing and comparing these paradigms was a randomized controlled trial …

The need for parallelism is growing with the broadening of computing in the real world where computing is an integral part of any field. In the early days of computing, adding transistors to the CPU could solve computation complexity. This is not the case now, where we can no longer advance the hardware capabilities at the pace of the advancement of computing problems. One of the fields which is intensive in computation is image processing. If it were just for one frame of an image, we could cope with the computation overhead. When the need is to compute video frames, …
