This textbook is a concise introduction to the basic toolbox of
structures that allow efficient organization and retrieval of data,
key algorithms for problems on graphs, and generic techniques for
modeling, understanding, and solving algorithmic problems. The
authors aim for a balance between simplicity and efficiency,
between theory and practice, and between classical results and the
forefront of research. Individual chapters cover arrays and linked
lists, hash tables and associative arrays, sorting and selection,
priority queues, sorted sequences, graph representation, graph
traversal, shortest paths, minimum spanning trees, optimization,
collective communication and computation, and load balancing. The
authors also discuss important issues such as algorithm
engineering, memory hierarchies, algorithm libraries, and
certifying algorithms. Moving beyond the sequential algorithms and
data structures of the earlier related title, this book takes into
account the paradigm shift towards the parallel processing required
to solve modern performance-critical applications and how this
impacts on the teaching of algorithms. The book is suitable for
undergraduate and graduate students and professionals familiar with
programming and basic mathematical language. Most chapters have the
same basic structure: the authors discuss a problem as it occurs in
a real-life situation, they illustrate the most important
applications, and then they introduce simple solutions as
informally as possible and as formally as necessary so the reader
really understands the issues at hand. As they move to more
advanced and optional issues, their approach gradually leads to a
more mathematical treatment, including theorems and proofs. The
book includes many examples, pictures, informal explanations, and
exercises, and the implementation notes introduce clean, efficient
implementations in languages such as C++ and Java.
