In this paper we present the Molen programming paradigm, which is a sequential consistency paradigm for programming Custom Computing Machines (CCM). The programming paradigm allows for modularity and provides mechanisms for explicit parallel execution. Furthermore it requires only few instructions to be added in an architectural instruction set while allowing an almost arbitrary number of op-codes per user to be used in a CCM. A number of programming examples and discussion is provided in order to clarify the operation, sequence control and parallelism of the proposed programming paradigm.
