Parallel Computing: Numerics, Applications, and Trends

The use of parallel programming and architectures is essential for simulating and solving problems in modern computational practice. There has been rapid progress in microprocessor architecture, interconnection technology and software devel- ment, which are influencing directly the rapid growth of parallel and distributed computing. However, in order to make these benefits usable in practice, this dev- opment must be accompanied by progress in the design, analysis and application aspects of...
