STM publisher Springer has announced the release of the Encyclopedia of Parallel Computing. With over 300 entries, in A-Z format for efficient, user-friendly searches, it surveys the concepts behind the significant shift towards parallel computing in today's computer industry.
Leading international experts in the field present topics related to the critical demand for continued advances in parallel programming throughout the four volumes. Experts include Jack Dongarra, Michael Flynn, William Gropp, David J. Kuck, David E. Shaw, Marc Snir, and Guy L. Steele Jr.
Today's supercomputers are massively parallel machines with thousands of processors. This type of accelerated parallelism is seen to be critical to science and engineering, enabling discoveries and designs that would not be possible otherwise. For consumer and mobile devices, parallelism is the only viable strategy for continued performance gains, while also allowing chipmakers to optimise for energy efficiency.
With the need for parallelism at an all-time high, the Encyclopedia of Parallel Computing provides researchers and developers with an authoritative reference that pulls together the tools necessary to take advantage of these pioneering concepts.
