About this title

Synopsis

Here is an in-depth examination of a single algorithm which ideally illustrates the basic concepts of vector and parallel Gaussian elimination in three specific and active areas of parallel computing. The author illustrates the important issues to be addressed when an algorithm is restructured into parallel form and efficient implementation is required on this widely used class of parallel computers. Finally, the book reviews software tools, performance models, and other theoretical issues which are necessary to derive and compare results for the parallel architecture classes discussed.
