In order to reach fine grain computation, Athapascan extends the work-first principle of Cilk to the data flow graph: because most of the tasks of a program are executed sequentially, the construction of the graph should require as few instructions as possible.
In an Athapascan application, a data flow graph models the execution: the graph is bipartite (data and tasks are distinct), each access to a data made by a task is known.
Athapascan is used to detect the synchronisations and exploit the parallelism.

 Athapaskan Indians - Indians of Canada and Quebec
The languages which compose the Athapascan family are plainly related to each other and, because of certain peculiarities, stand out from the other American languages with considerable distinctness.
The tendency of the members of this family to adopt the culture of neighbouring peoples is so marked that it is difficult to determine and describe any distinctive Athapascan culture or, indeed, to say whether such a culture ever existed.
If a true Athapascan culture may be said to have existed anywhere, it was among the eastern tribes of the Northern group, such as the Chipewyan, Kawchodinne, Stuichamukh, Tabanottine, and Thlingshadinne, although differing comparatively little from that of the northern-most Algonquian tribes and the neighbouring [Inuit].

 Athabaskan languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Athabaskan or Athabascan (also Athapascan or Athapaskan) is the name of a large group of distantly related Native American peoples, also known as the Athabasca Indians or Athapaskes, located in two main Southern and Northern groups in western North America, and of their language family.
The Athabaskan family is the largest family in North America in terms of number of languages and the number of speakers (the Uto-Aztecan family which extends into Mexico has many more speakers).

 People
The word "Athapascan," with all its varieties of spelling is not itself an Athapascan word but is rather an Algonkian word used by the Cree Indians to indicate the "strangers" who lived to the north.
The distinctively Athapascan occupancy of this region was somewhat modified by the presence of Yupik Eskimo settlements above Holy Cross, near the Yukon-Koyukuk confluence, and by the presence of the Inupiat Eskimo along the upper reaches of the Koyukuk.
Athapascan Indians in Alaska generally lived in small groups in which the primary unit was the family, composed of a man, one or more wives, their children, and perhaps one or two old people.

 Indian Mythology - An Athapascan Pantheon
Of all the great stocks of the Plains the Athapascan tribes (with the exception of the Navaho) show the least native advancement.
The northern Athapascans, or Tinne tribes, in particular, while good hunters and traders, are far from war-like, even in self-defence, and their arts are inferior to the general level of the Plains peoples.
Of course, the story is known far to the South also,—in the episode of Hiawatha and the sturgeon, for example.

The northern branch of the Athapascan stock east of the mountains have contact with but two alien peoples: the Eskimo on the shores of the Arctic ocean and Hudson bay, and the Algonquian Cree all along their southerly border.
The Sarsi, cut off from the main area of Athapascan occupancy by the Cree, have been so long separated as to be known to their congeners only as Sasuwe, an adaption of Cree Sasiu, which in turn is from Blackfoot Sahsi ("not good").
This was within sight of the ocean.1 As to Athapascan relations with the Hudson Bay Eskimo, Hearne says that the latter were frequently suspected of causing the death of Northern Indian chiefs by sorcery, which was the principal cause of hostilities.

 Athapascan Family
The tendency of the members of this family to adopt the culture of neighboring peoples is so marked that it is difficult to determine and describe any distinctive Athapascan culture or, indeed, to say whether such a culture ever existed.
Passing to the Pacific group, practically no difference is found between the culture which they presented and that of the surrounding tribes of other stocks, and it is evident that the social organization and many of the rites and ceremonies of the Navaho, and even of the Apache, were due to Pueblo influences.
If a true Athapascan culture may be said to have existed anywhere, it was among the eastern tribes of the Northern group, such as the Chipewyan, Kawchodinne, Stuichamukh, Tatsanottine, and Thlingchadinne, although differing comparatively little from that of the northernmost Algonquian tribes and the neighboring Eskimo.

 Public Anthropology
This article examines the concept of community patterning in the context of how two northern societies are socially, politically and economically organized.
The trading post, specifically, is what led to the development of community patterning, prior to the introduction of soapstone carving by the Povungnituk Eskimos and the establishment of the wage earning process at Fort Good Hope.
Therefore, with no input or participation from the Athapascan Indians, the society would remain a trading center or trading post.

 Fanggui Li Collection, American Philosophical Society
A student of Edward Sapir at the Univerity of Chicago, the linguist Fanggui (Fang-Kuei) Li was a pioneer in studying the Canadian and Pacific Coast Athapascan languages.
Much of Li's effort that summer was spent on the language of the coastal Mattole, which had received virtually no previous attention, and to a lesser degree on Wailaki.
Although Li retained an interest in Athapascan languages, by 1937 he became almost completely absorbed in classifying the major languages and dialects of China, the work for which he is best remembered.

An important Athapascan tribe occupying a reservation of 9,503,763 acres in northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico and southeastern Utah.
The Navaho are classed as belonging to the widespread Athapascan linguistic family, and a vocabulary of their language shows that the majority of their words have counterparts in dialects of Alaska, British America, and California.
The grammatical structure is like that of Athapascan tongues in general, but many words have been inherited from other sources.

Returning to the Athapascan family, with which next to the Takelma, we are most concerned, we find that they occupied the territory of the upper Coquille and Umpqua rivers and the Rogue, below the Takelma country, to the coast.
Of the coastal Athapascans, the southernmost in Oregon were the Tolowa, located largely on Smith River in northern California.
Of the several groups occupying the region under consideration we are particularly interested in those who were dubbed the Rogues, those Takelma groups in the Rogue River valley, and the Athapascans who lived along its banks as it cut through the rugged coast to reach the sea.

This paper aims to describe the implementation of TAKAKAW, an efficient parallel application for the simulation of molecular dynamics designed to handle large proteins in biology.
The implementation is based on the multi-threading parallel programming environment, called ATHAPASCAN 1 which allows to implement and evaluate easily several load-balancing strategies.
Some experiments run on one of the largest molecule ever simulated (a hydrated ß-galactosidase with 413039 atoms) show the interest of such a parallel programming environment.Keywords.
