Software patterns have revolutionized the way we think about how software is designed, built, and documented, and the design of parallel software requires you to consider other particular design aspects and special skills. From clusters to supercomputers, success heavily depends on the design skills of software developers.
Patterns for Parallel Software Design presents a pattern–oriented software architecture approach to parallel software design. This approach is not a design method in the classic sense, but a new way of managing and exploiting existing design knowledge for designing parallel programs. Moreover, such approaches enhance not only build–time properties of parallel systems, but also, and particularly, their run–time properties.
- Features known solutions in concurrent and distributed programming, applied to the development of parallel programs
- Provides architectural patterns that describe how to divide an algorithm and/or data to find a suitable partition and link it with a programming structure that allows for such a division
- Presents an architectural point of view and explains the development of parallel software
Patterns for Parallel Software Design will give you the skills you need to develop parallel software.

From the Back Cover
Written from an architectural point of view, Patterns for Parallel Software Design presents a pattern–oriented software architecture approach to parallel software design providing solutions in concurrent and distributed programming, based on existing design knowledge.
A patter–oriented approach to parallel software design is not a design method in the classic sense, but a new way of managing and utilizing existing design knowledge for designing parallel programs. Using this approach leads to parallel software systems that are modular, adaptable, understandable and evolvable. Thus this method aims to enhance not only build–time properties of parallel systems, bu also their run time properties.
Key topics include:
- Use of known solutions in concurrent and distributed programming, applied to the development of parallel programs.
- Significant architectural patterns that describe how to divide an algorithm and/or data to find a suitbale partition, and hence, link it with a programming structure that allows for such a division.
- Delivers proven solutions to the problems faced by parallel programmers.
Coverage is aimed at developers new to parallel programming, who require a base to understand parallel software design and implementation for futrue parallel platforms. Patterns for Parallel Software Design is an essential must–have guide for developers and programmers who want to solve unique design problems.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Red, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., +1 800-883-2114, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
