Synopsis
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the principles of parallel processing. It focuses on presenting the fundamentals by architectural features, system properties, language constructs, and algorithm design and implementation implications in a way that is as independent as possible of specific architectures, systems, and languages. The uniqueness of the book is that it treats crucial fundamental concepts of parallel processing rather than a collection of the latest trends. Detailed examples are used to clarify difficult concepts. Once the fundamental concepts are understood, they can be applied to any architecture, system, or language. The book also introduces the integration of parallel architecture, algorithms, and language to provide insight into designing and implementing parallel applications. Fortran is used throughout to present each type of major parallelism concept introduced in the text. This book is intended for computer science and computer engineering students for courses on the principles of parallel processing.
