Concurrent Computations Algorithms Architecture And Technology(1st Edition)

Book details

Book Price $56.13 : The 1987 Princeton Workshop On Algorithm, Architecture And Technology Issues For Models Of Concurrent Computation Was Organized As An Interdisciplinary Work­ Shop Emphasizing Current Research Directions Toward Concurrent Computing Systems. With Participants From Several Different Fields Of Specialization, The Workshop Cov­ Ered A Wide Variety Of Topics, Though By No Means A Complete Cross Section Of Issues In This Rapidly Moving Field. The Papers Included In This Book Were Prepared For The Workshop And, Taken Together, Provide A View Of The Broad Range Of Issues And Alternative Directions Being Explored. To Organize The Various Papers, The Book Has Been Divided Into Five Parts. Part I Considers New Technology Directions. Part II Emphasizes Underlying Theoretical Issues. Communication Issues, Which Are Ad­ Dressed In The Majority Of Papers, Are Specifically Highlighted In Part III. Part IV Includes Papers Stressing The Fault Tolerance And Reliability Of Systems. Finally, Part V Includes Systems-oriented Papers, Where The System Ranges From VLSI Circuits Through Powerful Parallel Computers. Much Of The Initial Planning Of The Workshop Was Completed Through An Informal AT&T Bell Laboratories Group Consisting Of Mehdi Hatamian, Vijay Kumar, Adri­ Aan Ligtenberg, Sailesh Rao, P. Subrahmanyam And Myself. We Are Grateful To Stuart Schwartz, Both For The Support Of Princeton University And For His Orga­ Nizing Local Arrangements For The Workshop, And To The Members Of The Organizing Committee, Whose Recommendations For Participants And Discussion Topics Were Par­ Ticularly Helpful.
