| Résumé : |
Containing over 300 entries in an A-Z format, the *Encyclopedia of Parallel Computing* provides easy, intuitive access to relevant information for professionals and researchers┬áseeking access to any aspect within the broad field of parallel computing. Topics for this comprehensive reference were selected, written, and peer-reviewed by an international pool of distinguished researchers in the field.┬á The *Encyclopedia *is broad in scope, covering machine organization, programming languages, algorithms, and applications.┬á Within each area, concepts, designs, and specific implementations are presented.┬á The highly-structured essays in this work comprise synonyms, a definition and discussion of the topic, bibliographies, and links to related literature. Extensive cross-references to other entries within the Encyclopedia support efficient, user-friendly searchers for immediate access to useful information. Key concepts presented in the *Encyclopedia of Parallel Computing* include; laws and metrics; specific numerical and non-numerical algorithms; asynchronous algorithms; libraries of subroutines; benchmark suites;┬á applications; sequential consistency and cache coherency; machine classes such as clusters, shared-memory multiprocessors, special-purpose machines and dataflow machines; specific machines such as Cray supercomputers, IBMÔÇÖs cell processor and IntelÔÇÖs multicore machines; race detection and auto parallelization; parallel programming languages, synchronization primitives, collective operations, message passing libraries, checkpointing, and operating systems.┬á Topics covered: Speedup, Efficiency, Isoefficiency, Redundancy, Amdahls law, Computer Architecture Concepts, Parallel Machine Designs, Benmarks, Parallel Programming concepts & design, Algorithms, Parallel applications. This authoritative reference will be published in two formats: print and online.┬á The online edition features hyperlinks to cross-references and to additional significant research.
