Charm/Charm++ CHARM is a machine independent parallel programming system. Programs written using this system will run unchanged on MIMD machines with or without a shared memory. It provides high-level mechanisms and strategies to facilitate the task of developing even highly complex parallel applications. Charm programs are written in C with a few syntactic extensions. It is possible to interface to other languages such as FORTRAN using the foreign language interface that C provides. Charm++ is the C++-based parallel object oriented language having all features of Charm, which supports multiple inheritance, late bindings, and polymorphism.
