商品描述

An all-inclusive survey of the fundamentals of parallel and distributed computing. The use of parallel and distributed computing has increased dramatically over the past few years, giving rise to a variety of projects, implementations, and buzzwords surrounding the subject. Although the areas of parallel and distributed computing have traditionally evolved separately, these models have overlapping goals and characteristics. Parallel and Distributed Computing surveys the models and paradigms in this converging area of parallel and distributed computing and considers the diverse approaches within a common text. Covering a comprehensive set of models and paradigms, the material also skims lightly over more specific details and serves as both an introduction and a survey. Novice readers will be able to quickly grasp a balanced overview with the review of central concepts, problems, and ideas, while the more experienced researcher will appreciate the specific comparisons between models, the coherency of the parallel and distributed computing field, and the discussion of less well-known proposals. Other topics covered include:
* Data parallelism
* Shared-memory programming
* Message passing
* Client/server computing
* Code mobility
* Coordination, object-oriented, high-level, and abstract models
* And much more

Parallel and Distributed Computing is a perfect tool for students and can be used as a foundation for parallel and distributed computing courses. Application developers will find this book helpful to get an overview before choosing a particular programming style to study in depth, and researchers and programmers will appreciate the wealth of information concerning the various areas of parallel and distributed computing.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《並行與分散式計算》是一本全面介紹並行與分散式計算基礎的調查書籍。近年來,並行與分散式計算的使用急劇增加,引發了許多與此主題相關的專案、實現和熱門詞彙。儘管並行與分散式計算領域傳統上是分開發展的,但這些模型具有重疊的目標和特徵。《並行與分散式計算》調查了這個交匯領域中的模型和範式,並考慮了不同的方法。該書涵蓋了一系列全面的模型和範式,並輕輕帶過了更具體的細節,既是一本介紹書,也是一本調查書。初學者可以快速掌握平衡的概述,並複習核心概念、問題和思想,而經驗豐富的研究人員則會欣賞模型之間的具體比較、並行與分散式計算領域的一致性,以及對較少知名提案的討論。其他涵蓋的主題包括:

* 數據並行性

* 共享內存編程

* 消息傳遞

* 客戶端/服務器計算

* 代碼移動性

* 協調、面向對象、高級和抽象模型

* 還有更多



《並行與分散式計算》是學生的理想工具,可作為並行與分散式計算課程的基礎。應用開發人員在深入研究特定編程風格之前,可以通過這本書獲得概述,而研究人員和程序員將欣賞到關於並行與分散式計算各個領域的豐富信息。
