Network-Based Parallel Computing. Communication, Architecture, and Applications: Second International Workshop, CANPC'98, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, January 31 - February 1, 1998, Proceedings

by Dhabaleswar K. Panda (Editor), Craig B. Stunkel (Editor)

Overview

This book constitutes the strictly refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Communication and Architectural Support for Network-Based Parallel Computing, CANPC'98, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in January/February 1998.

The 18 revised full papers presented were selected from 38 submissions on the basis of four to five reviews per paper. The volume comprises a representative compilation of state-of-the-art solutions for network-based parallel computing. Several new interconnection technologies, new software schemes and standards are studied and developed to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth interconnections for network-based parallel computing.
