Abstract : PCP is an implementation of the split-join parallel programming paradigm for the C programming language. In the split-join paradigm a team of processors executes the user program from main() to exit(). The model allows for exploitation of nested parallelism via a mechanism called team splitting. All of the features of PCP are block structured and allow for arbitrary nesting of parallel constructs. In this manual we document PCP and give examples of its use in writing portable parallel programs.,
