Converse Converse can be used for developing portable parallel programs, with support for messages, threads, shared-memory, message-handlers, and flexible schedulers. More importantly, Converse can be used for (quickly and easily) building efficient runtime systems for (your favorite) parallel languages. Also, Converse supports multilingual interoperability: modules written in different parallel languages can be linked together in a single application, and carry out concurrent computations. Converse is a run-time system for Charm/Charm++.
