Abstract
In one embodiment, a process may be performed in parallel on a parallel server by defining a data type that may be used to reference data stored on the parallel server and overloading a previously-defined operation, such that when the overloaded operation is called, a command is sent to the parallel server to manipulate the data stored on the parallel server. In some embodiments, the previously-defined operation that is overloaded may be an operation of an operating system. Further, in some embodiments, when the data stored on the parallel server is no longer needed, a command may be sent to the parallel server to reallocate the memory used to store the data.
