Short description
The coming years will witness a proliferation in the use of parallel and distributed computers. With hyperthreading in Intel processors, hypertransport links in next generation AMD processors, multi-core silicon in today's high-end microprocessors from IBM and emerging grid computing, parallel and distributed computers have moved into the mainstream. To fully exploit these advances in computer architecture, researchers must start to write parallel or distributed software and algorithms. The purpose of this title is to allow computer scientists, computational scientists and engineers, applied mathematicians, and researchers in other science and engineering disciplines to present, discuss, and exchange their recent advances, new ideas, results, works-in-progress, and experiences in the areas of parallel and distributed computing for science and engineering applications.
