Summary

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting held in Santorini (Thera), Greece in September 2001. The 50 revised papers presented together with seven abstracts of invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on implementation, evaluation, and performance of PVM/MPI; extensions and improvements on PVM/MPI; tools for PVM and MPI; algorithms using message passing; and applications in science and engineering.
