In this paper we present the Orchid system, a new portable and scalable platform for parallel programming, suitable for any type of distributed memory architecture. It includes C libraries that facilitate dynamic process allocation, asynchronous process communication, and global process synchronization. It also integrates a set of flexible mechanisms for the implementation of a wide variety of Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) paradigms. As an example, two different DSM paradigms are proposed. Moreover, a new polyparametric model is suggested, which can be used in the performance evaluation of any DSM paradigm. Orchid has been successfully used for the development of a large scale application, i.e. an environment for parallel logic programming, based on attribute grammars. (EN)
