Introduction to Parallel Processing

by Bruno Codenotti, Mauro Leoncini, Michele Re

Provides an introduction to the basic concepts of parallel computation and VLSI, with a balanced coverage of parallel algorithms and architectures. Topics include the theory of algorithms and complexity, models of parallel computation and their relations to models of sequential computing, basic parallel algorithms for central computational problems, and VLSI design focusing on the area-time complexity of hardware implementation of algorithms. Many examples are used. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
