Book synopsis

Parallele und verteilte Anwendungen: Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die verschiedenenen gängigen methodischen Ansätze. Zur Einführung werden die theoretischen Grundlagen in knapper Form abgehandelt. Sie lernen, welche logischen Unterschiede zwischen einzelnen Methoden zum Aufbau paralleler Systeme bestehen. Der Stoff wird auf abstraktem Niveau vermittelt, unabhängig von Plattform und Programmiersprache. Alle wichtigen Einsatzfelder paralleler und verteilter Anwendungen werden dabei berücksichtigt.An all-inclusive survey of the fundamentals of parallel and distributed computing. The use of parallel and distributed computing has increased dramatically over the past few years, giving rise to a variety of projects, implementations, and buzzwords surrounding the subject. Although the areas of parallel and distributed computing have traditionally evolved separately, these models have overlapping goals and characteristics. Parallel and Distributed Computing surveys the models and paradigms in this converging area of parallel and distributed computing and considers the diverse approaches within a common text. Covering a comprehensive set of models and paradigms, the material also skims lightly over more specific details and serves as both an introduction and a survey. Novice readers will be able to quickly grasp a balanced overview with the review of central concepts, problems, and ideas, while the more experienced researcher will appreciate the specific comparisons between models, the coherency of the parallel and distributed computing field, and the discussion of less well-known proposals. Other topics covered include:§Data parallelism§Shared-memory programming§Message passing§Client/server computing§Code mobility§Coordination, object-oriented, high-level, and abstract models§And much more§Parallel and Distributed Computing is a perfect tool for students and can be used as a foundation for parallel and distributed computing courses. Application developers will find this book helpful to get an overview before choosing a particular programming style to study in depth, and researchers and programmers will appreciate the wealth of information concerning the various areas of parallel and distributed computing.
