This book is an introduction to the complex and emerging world of the Parallel and Distributed Computing. It helps you understand the principles and acquire the practical skills of MPI programming using the C/FORTAN programming language. My aim is for you to gain sufficient knowledge and experience to perform simple useful programming tasks using the best up-to-date techniques and so I hope for it to be the easiest book from which you can learn the basics of MPI programming. It helps you understand the principles, algorithm & implementation of Parallel and Distributed Computing.

This book is emphatically focused on the concept. Understanding the fundamental ideas, principles, and techniques is the essence of a good programmer. Only well-designed code has a chance of becoming part of a correct, reliable, and maintainable parallel and distributed system. Through this book, I hope that you will see the absolute necessity of understanding Parallel and Distributed Computing.
I have taken a top-down approach, addressing the issues to be resolved in the design of distributed systems and describing successful approaches in the form of abstract models, algorithms and detailed case studies of widely used systems.

The book aims to provide an understanding of the principles on which the parallel and distributed computing are based; their architecture, algorithms and design; and how it meets the demands of contemporary parallel and distributed applications. I began with a set of several chapters that together cover the building blocks for a study of parallel and distributed systems. The first few chapters provide a conceptual overview of the subject, outlining the characteristics of parallel and distributed systems and the challenges that must be addressed in their design: scalability, heterogeneity, security and failure handling being the most significant. These chapters also develop abstract models for understanding process interaction, failure and security.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
