Short description
The complexity of today's information processing requirements, coupled with the availability of powerful computers, have boosted the interest in the study, design, and analysis of parallel algorithms. Introduction to Parallel Algorithms responds to the need in the field for an easy-to-understand text in this growth area of computer science. This valuable, easy-to-use reference addresses a pivotal issue in the field-how to control the proper sequencing of steps by the various processors involved in a given problem-solving task.
