This book proposes a method for expressing typical cooperation and competition problems, as well as different synchronization and communication methods for implementing them. Using a general abstract expression to state synchronization constraints between parallel processes, the authors then choose either a centralized or a distributed implementation as a solution for the targeted system. Each of these implementations is illustrated with examples drawn from classic problems, and one informal case study (management of access to a swimming pool) acts as a leitmotif throughout the work, providing comparisons between the various approaches offered.
Contents: Introduction-the problem and an example; Languages for the expression of synchronization problems; Tools and methods for centralized implementation; Tools and methods for distributed implementation.
Jacque Andre, Daniel Herman, and Jean-Pierre Verjus are staff researchers at IRISA, INSA, and the University of Rennes in France. Synchronization of Parallel Programs is included in the Scientific Computation Series, edited by Dennis Gannon.
