Our work intends to support parallel runtimes that will coexist with a wide range of other complex independently developed applications, without any previous knowledge about their real execution requirements, number of parallel sub-tasks, and when those sub-tasks will be generated.engFork/JoinRTSJParallel systemsReal-time systemsjournal article10.1145/2043910.2043924
