  Programming models for concurrency are optimized for dealing with
nondeterminism, for example to handle asynchronously arriving events. To shield
the developer from data race errors effectively, such models may prevent shared
access to data altogether. However, this restriction also makes them unsuitable
for applications that require data parallelism. We present a library-based
approach for permitting parallel access to arrays while preserving the safety
guarantees of the original model. When applied to SCOOP, an object-oriented
concurrency model, the approach exhibits a negligible performance overhead
compared to ordinary threaded implementations of two parallel benchmark
programs.
