Each of these steps to creating a parallel program can be performed by either the user or the system. For instance, the assignment of the subproblems after they are decomposed is user-specified, the orchestration of the threads is handled by the system.

It's interesting to note that the line between what is user controlled and system controlled can vary. The system is capable of handling decomposition, for example, when it comes to instruction level parallelism.

This is how I interpret these steps:
You are the project leader of a group and you need to write a report.
- Decomposition: Figuring out the possible ways to split up the report. For example, splitting by section or by role (outline writer, writer, editor), etc.
- Assignment: Assigning a portion to each group member. This can be done statically (person A takes sections 1 and 2, person B takes section 3,etc.) or dynamically (everyone calls dibs on a section and helps other people out if they finished early) or maybe a combo.
- Orchestration: Finding dependencies and communication between team members. If person A hasn't written the results, person B who has Discussion is going to run into issues. Also someone will probably have to compile everyone's sections together and format them in the end.
- Mapping: Actually giving instructions to your group and having them work.
