Summary

Parallel computing involves the division of a complicated program into smaller tasks which are then performed simultaneously by several processors, thus reducing the total execution time dramatically. However this process raises several new issues, including task allocation and communication between processors, which do not appear in normal serial computing.

Containing a selection of invited review articles, this book covers issues central to parallel computing algorithms. Chapters on both general analysis and practical applications are featured and particular emphasis is placed on a variety of applications in engineering.
