Short description The use of parallel and distributed computing has risen dramatically in the past few years, giving rise to a variety of projects, implementations and buzzwords surrounding the subject. Dr. Leopold provides a survey of the different methodologies currently used in constructing parallel and distributed systems, at an introductory level. This "compare and contrast" approach is supplemented by using specific projects and languages to illustrate key concepts.
