Parallel Algorithms for Irregular Problems: State of the Artby Afonso Ferreira
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Efficient parallel solutions have been found to many problems. Some of them can be obtained automatically from sequential programs, using compilers. However, there is a large class of problems - irregular problems - that lack efficient solutions. IRREGULAR 94 - a workshop and summer school organized in Geneva - addressed the problems associated with the derivation of efficient solutions to irregular problems. This book, which is based on the workshop, draws on the contributions of outstanding scientists to present the state of the art in irregular problems, covering aspects ranging from scientific computing, discrete optimization, and automatic extraction of parallelism.Audience: This first book on parallel algorithms for irregular problems is of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers in parallel computer science. Book News Annotation:Contributions to this volume are the work of participants in an
international workshop held in Geneva in the summer of 1994 to
address issues related to deriving efficient solutions to irregular
problems. The first part, consisting of four contributions, deals
with scientific computation and covers topics ranging from finite
element methods to computer vision. The second part, comprising
eight papers, gathers research results on discrete optimization,
mainly based on new techniques for parallel branch and bound. The
last section of four papers addresses important steps toward the
development of tools for automatic parallelization including
applications of graph scheduling techniques, a mapping environment
for dynamic tree-structured problems, regularizing transformations
for integral dependencies, and strategies for load balancing. Lacks
an index.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:With the goal of fostering cooperation among practitioners and theoreticians of the field, the workshop and summer school on Parallel Algorithms for Irregularly Structured Problems - IRREGULAR 94 - was organized in Geneva, addressing issues related to deriving efficient solutions to irregular problems. Based on the workshop the book draws on the contributions of some outstanding scientists to present of the state of the art in irregular problems covering aspects from scientific computing, discrete optimization and automatic extraction of parallelism. It is the first book on parallel algorithms for irregular problems. The book will be of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers in the field of parallel computrer science.
