This book explores the theoretical underpinnings of high-performance parallel computing using a vast network of microprocessors. The author, a pioneering figure in the field, presents their in-depth analysis of various connection patterns between processors and how they impact the efficiency of parallel computation. They include insights into the 'data-flow' model of computation, wherein the availability of data (rather than clock cycles) dictates the execution of computational tasks. The practicality and potential advantages of applying a purely applicative, side-effect-free programming language for describing and implementing parallel computation are also examined. Through a series of detailed case studies and illustrative examples, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of their proposed methods, establishing their significance in the field of parallel computing and its applications in scientific research and industry.
