Distributed and Parallel Systems: From Instruction Parallelism to Cluster Computing / Edition 1

by Pïter Kacsuk, Gabriele Kotsis

Overview

Distributed and Parallel Systems: From Instruction Parallelism to Cluster Computing is the proceedings of the third Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems organized jointly by the Austrian Computer Society and the MTA SZTAKI Computer and Automation Research Institute. This book contains 18 full papers and 12 short papers from 14 countries around the world, including Japan, Korea and Brazil. The paper sessions cover a broad range of research topics in the area of parallel and distributed systems, including software development environments, performance evaluation, architectures, languages, algorithms, web and cluster computing.
This volume will be useful to researchers and scholars interested in all areas related to parallel and distributed computing systems.

Editorial Reviews

The broad range of uses for distributed and parallel systems is in evidence in this collection of 18 full and 12 short papers from the third Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on these systems. The book is divided into four parts: software development environments and performance evaluation<-->the relative merits of systems such as COBRA, Clue, openMP and MPI are considered; algorithms and languages; architectures (various programming models); and web and cluster computing. Contributions from 14 different countries are edited by an Austrian, Kotsis (University of Vienna), and a Czech, Kacsuk (MTA SZTAKI, Budapest). Does not include an index. Annotation c.
