Abstract:

TACO (Topologies and Collections) is a template based distributed and parallel object platform for cluster architectures. TACO provides both template based remote method invocation mechanisms as well as high-level distributed data-parallel programming based on distributed object groups. This tutorial introduces TACO's basic concepts and gives additionally useful programming hints.
