Lectures in Parallel Computation Paperback / softback
Edited by Alan (University of Warwick) Gibbons, Paul (University of Patras, Greece) Spirakis
Part of the Cambridge International Series on Parallel Computation series
Paperback / softback
Description
The foundations of parallel computation, especially the efficiency of computation, are the concern of this book.
Distinguished international researchers have contributed fifteen chapters which together form a coherent stream taking the reader who has little prior knowledge of the field to a position of being familiar with leading edge issues.
The book may also function as a source of teaching material and reference for researchers.
The first part is devoted to the Parallel Random Access Machine (P-RAM) model of parallel computation.
The initial chapters justify and define the model, which is then used for the development of algorithm design in a variety of application areas such as deterministic algorithms, randomisation and algorithm resilience.
The second part deals with distributed memory models of computation.
The question of efficiently implementing P-RAM algorithms within these models is addressed as are the immensely interesting prospects for general purpose parallel computation.
