Description
The use of parallet processing is increasing rapidly in many areas of computer application. The aim of this book is to consider how parallelism may be exploited through software environments, tools, algorithms and application libraries. The contributors discuss all aspects of software for parallel processors, ranging from conceptual frameworks to implementation vehicles. Detailed coverage is given of research results and de facto development tools which provide insight into major problem areas such as probability, performance and reorganization of data and algorithms.
