ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the invention is directed to executing a computer program that manipulates data stored in a distributed manner on a parallel server. At least one portion of the computer program treats the data from a global perspective, wherein commands to the parallel server are not specific to the manner in which the data is distributed on the parallel server. In addition, at least one portion of the computer program treats the data from a local perspective, wherein commands to the parallel server are specific to the manner in which the data is distributed on the parallel server.
