Parallel and Distributed Computing Handbook

by Albert Y. Zomaya

The evolution from traditional serial to parallel and distributed systems has produced a quantum leap in computing power--and an urgent need for a comprehensive reference on the technology. Now, with over a thousand pages and a wealth of illustrations and data tables, this Handbook offers readers the first information source with the scope to encompass the parallel and distributed revolution. This handbook, with over a thousand pages of reference material, and a wealth of illustrations and data tables, is written by an international team of experts, and reviewed by an elite group of editorial advisors, the handbook describes the latest theories behind these fast-developing systems--summarizes the current state of the art--interprets the most promising trends--and spotlights the many industrial and commercial applications.
