Computational clusters have long provided a mechanism for the acceleration of high performance computing (HPC) applications. This book addresses the issue of fault-tolerance through checkpointing. It presents a general overview of checkpointing and how it's implemented.

This monograph focuses on one important topic of parallel computation: the complexity of problems that appear to be difficult to parallelize. The authors present in one reference all of the current definitions and research results in the area.

Covering recent developments involving transputer technology in the Australasian region, this work contains 35 papers addressing transputer applications in communications, networks, fuzzy systems, image processing and medical equipment.

Introduces the core function of the Message Printing Interface (MPI). This edition adds material on the C++ and Fortran 90 binding for MPI. It covers datatype extents and the extension to basic MPI functionality added by the MPI-2 Forum in the area of MPI datatypes and collective operations.

These are the post-proceedings of the PARA 2000 workshop. The papers address a variety of topics in large scale parallel and industrial strength high-performance computing, in particular HPC applications in industry and academia, Java in HPC and networking, and education in computational science.

Parallel processing is becoming an indispensible style in many high-performance computing systems. The contributed chapters to to this work cover parallel hardware, parallel software and applications in parallel fields.

A collection of papers presented at a conference on transputers, addressing such topics as the new transputer generation, the prospects for distributed memory machines, major projects planned by the EEC and other organizations, performance evaluation, scheduling and message passing.

These ten papers represent a range of applications for the practical use of parallel computing. They address large scale high performance applications, data transfer and storage cost minimisation, two-stroke engine applications, large air pollution models, parallel global aircraft configuration design, parallel execution time analysis, parallel randomised heuristics, the analysis of complex ...

A collection of papers presented at a symposium organized to celebrate the completion of a 5-year Initiative in the Engineering Applications of Transputers. They review achievements in a range of applications and supporting fields and predict future developments.

This work discusses a range of issues fundamental to the future of concurrency. It combines papers from researchers and practitioners. Topics include theory, such a development to Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes, and hardware and real-time systems.

Ever since the invention of the computer, users have demanded more computational power to tackle complex problems. A common means of increasing the computational power for solving a problem is to use parallel computing. This book covers research into techniques for modelling the performance of computer programs running on parallel computers.

Presents an overview of multicore processors and systems. This book covers technology trends affecting multicores, multicore architecture innovations, multicore software innovations, and case studies of commercial multicore systems.

Presents scheduling models for parallel processing, problems defined on the grounds of certain scheduling models, and algorithms solving the scheduling problems. This book introduces the fundamental scheduling concepts. It also presents the notions, concepts, and algorithms that are most immediately applicable in parallel processing.

Presents the proceedings of a Transputer and OCCAM User Group Conference, held in Melbourne, in November 1992, discussing recent developments in the field of transputers and parallel applications.

The author presents a theory whereby nets, terms and formulas represent concurrent processes at three levels of abstraction.

This book originates from the International Symposium on Compositionality, COMPOS'97, held in Bad Malente, Germany in September 1997. The 25 chapters presented in revised full version reflect the current state of the art in the area of compositional reasoning about concurrency. The book is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in formal systems design and analysis; it .

This work is based on papers presented at the 1994 and 1995 IOPADS workshops held in conjunction with the International Parallel Processing Symposium. It provides a survey of issues in input/output in parallel and distributed computer systems and also looks at software and architecture.

This edition has been expanded significantly to introduce recent advances and examples. The book is concerned with design techniques to improve the performance of Computer systems, primarily with those involving parallelism.

The contributed chapters to this volume provide a broad coverage of the areas of research in current parallel computing: architectures, languages and tools, graphics and fault tolerance.
