This text for students and professionals in computer science provides a valuable overview of current knowledge concerning parallel algorithms. These computer operations have recently acquired increased importance due to their ability to enhance the power of computers by permitting multipleprocessors to work on different parts of a problem independently and simultaneously. This approach has led to solutions of difficult problems in a number of vital fields, including artificial intelligence, image processing, and differential equations. As the first up-to-date summary of the topic, this book will be sought after by researchers, computer science professionals, and advanced students involved in parallel computing and parallel algorithms. | The Design and Analysis of Parallel Algorithms by Justin R.
