Announcing the recent release of the following book. Check out our web page at: http://www.ee.uwa.edu.au/~paracomp/home.html for more goodies. The problems with this page have been remedied since my last post - thanks to those people who informed me of their difficulties. PARALLEL COMPUTING Paradigms and Applications ___________________________ Edited by Albert Y. Zomaya Published by: International Thomson Computer Press 570 pages -- ISBN 1-85032188-4 Retail: 49.95 pounds sterling Publication date: 1996 (already available) In recent years, parallel computing has become an important alternative to the serial model of computation which has been used for the last four decades. This breakthrough has in turn accelerated the development of more computing power and higher processing speed. Parallel computers and the multiple levels of application that they offer, together with the continual reduction in the cost and size of computer electronic components, present the computing world with a new opportunity to develop and to address computationally intensive problems in a variety of disciplines. Parallel Computing: Paradigms and Applications provides a broad review of some of the main research issues in the parallel computing community. In addition to presenting the major trends in parallel computing, the contributors to this volume also discuss a range of applications that have been greatly influenced by this technology. Each chapter is self-contained, giving an insight to one particular topic, contributed by some sixty of the world leading authorities in the field of parallel computing. Researchers, students, and practitioners in this rapidly evolving field will all find Parallel Computing: Paradigms and Applications an invaluable and interesting source of information. ______________________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents _________________ List of contributots Foreword -- Chris Jesshope Preface Acknowledgements PART I: ARCHITECTURES ______________________ Chapter 1: Developments in Scalable MIMD Architectures R.
