This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Here, the authors propose a method for the formal development of parallel programs - or multiprograms as they prefer to call them. They accomplish this with a minimum of formal gear, i.e. with the predicate calculus and the well- established theory of Owicki and Gries. They show that the Owicki/Gries theory can be effectively put to work for the formal development of multiprograms, regardless of whether these algorithms are distributed or not. 392 pp. Englisch.

About this title

Synopsis

Even with all the interest in parallelism and parallel processing, there is still something missing. This book is about how to design parallel programs from their specification. It follows from the Owicki/Gries theory and can be put to work for the formal development of multiprograms regardless of whether these algorithms are distributed or not.
