Synopsis

Parallelism is destined to change the way we think about and use computers, promising to put within reach solutions to previously unfathomable problems and frontiers of knowledge.

This book provides a state-of-the-art survey of the applications of processor network architectures and of various highly parallel computational methods. Containing a significant amount of expository and explanatory material, it consists of self-contained chapters, each written by experts who have actually performed the implementations and achieved the results covered.

Designed for graduate/postgraduate students and researchers working in the area of supercomputing, the text can also be used by lecturers who wish to illustrate parallel computing methodologies. In addition, it provides a clear reference for practitioners working in this field.

About this title

Review

A diligent reader can garner much from this book. Benefits several classes of readers. It is most valuable for scientist and students directly involved in the specific work of the chapters. It will help the diligent reader create a fairly deep understanding of concepts beyond the basics. --Ubiquity, Volume 3, Issue 31, September 2005
