�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Although there has been a tremendous growth of interest in parallel architecture and parallel processing in recent years, comparatively little work has been done on the problem of characterizing parallelism in programs and algorithms. This book, a collection of original papers, specifically addresses that topic.

The editors and two dozen other contributors have produced a work that cuts across numerical analysis, artificial intelligence, and database management, speaking to questions that lie at the heart of current research in these and many other fields of knowledge: How much commonality in algorithm structure is there across problem domains? What attributes of algorithms are the most important in dictating the structure of a parallel algorithm? How can algorithms be matched with languages and architectures? Their book provides an important starting place for a comprehensive taxonomy of parallel algorithms.

The authors are all in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Purdue University. Leah H. Jamieson is a professor, Dennis Gannon an associate professor, and Robert Douglass head of Machine Intelligence. The Characteristics of Parallel Algorithms is included in the Scientific Computation Series, edited by Dennis Gannon.

Anbieterinformationen

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
