Beschreibung
Advances in microelectronic technology have made massively
parallel computing a reality and triggered an outburst of
research activity in parallel processing architectures and
algorithms. Distributed memory multiprocessors - parallel
computers that consist of microprocessors connected in a
regular topology - are increasingly being used to solve
large problems in many application areas. In order to use
these computers for a specific application, existing
algorithms need to be restructured for the architecture and
new algorithms developed. The performance of a computation
on a distributed memory multiprocessor is affected by the
node and communication architecture, the interconnection
network topology, the I/O subsystem, and the parallel
algorithm and communication protocols. Each of these
parametersis a complex problem, and solutions require an
understanding of the interactions among them.
This book is based on the papers presented at the NATO
Advanced Study Institute held at Bilkent University, Turkey,
in July 1991. The book is organized in five parts: Parallel
computing structures and communication, Parallel numerical
algorithms, Parallel programming, Fault tolerance, and
Applications and algorithms.
Distributed memory multiprocessors - parallel computers that consist of microprocessors interconnected in a regular topology - are increasingly being used to solve large problems in many applications. This NATO ASI volume examines the restructuring of computations for such machines.
