Handbook of Parallel Computing

This volume provides an up-to-date assessment of the models and algorithms involved in applying parallel computing to a variety of fields. It reviews recent advances, such as membrane computing, the Inthreads model, and the new releases of the LAPACK and ScaLAPACK libraries. The book also highlights a range of parallel computing problems that include latency, message dissemination, data transfer, call admission control, power aware scheduling, scalability, and data replication, and presents numerous approaches to tackle these problems, including pipelines, I/O techniques, analytical modeling, orthogonal recursive bisection, game theory, and parallel matrix multiplication algorithms.
