Synopsis
Explore how thousands of processors can work in concert. Discover practical ideas for architectures, networks, and software that coordinate massive parallelism.
This book surveys the design of highly parallel computers and the software needed to run them. It introduces concepts like paracomputers, dataflow execution, and synchronization techniques that help many processors share work and memory efficiently.
- Foundations of interconnection networks and asymptotically optimal patterns for large-scale computation
- A practical look at replace-add synchronization and its impact on parallel algorithms
- Hardware and software approaches to concurrent queues, scheduling, and dataflow execution
- Applications and simulations that illustrate scalable performance in real-world codes

Networks and Algorithms for Very Large Scale Parallel Computation
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the theoretical underpinnings of high-performance parallel computing using a vast network of microprocessors. The author, a pioneering figure in the field, presents their in-depth analysis of various connection patterns between processors and how they impact the efficiency of parallel computation. They include insights into the 'data-flow' model of computation, wherein the availability of data (rather than clock cycles) dictates the execution of computational tasks. The practicality and potential advantages of applying a purely applicative, side-effect-free programming language for describing and implementing parallel computation are also examined. Through a series of detailed case studies and illustrative examples, the author demonstrates the effectiveness of their proposed methods, establishing their significance in the field of parallel computing and its applications in scientific research and industry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333624965_0
