Since the publication of the first edition, parallel computing
technology has gained considerable momentum. A large proportion of
this has come from the improvement in VLSI techniques, offering one
to two orders of magnitude more devices than previously possible. A
second contributing factor in the fast development of the subject
is commercialization. The supercomputer is no longer restricted to
a few well-established research institutions and large companies. A
new computer breed combining the architectural advantages of the
supercomputer with the advance of VLSI technology is now available
at very attractive prices. A pioneering device in this development
is the transputer, a VLSI processor specifically designed to
operate in large concurrent systems.
Parallel Computers 2: Architecture, Programming and Algorithms
reflects the shift in emphasis of parallel computing and tracks the
development of supercomputers in the years since the first edition
was published. It looks at large-scale parallelism as found in
transputer ensembles. This extensively rewritten second edition
includes major new sections on the transputer and the OCCAM
language. The book contains specific information on the various
types of machines available, details of computer architecture and
technologies, and descriptions of programming languages and
algorithms. Aimed at an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
level, this handbook is also useful for research workers, machine
designers, and programmers concerned with parallel computers. In
addition, it will serve as a guide for potential parallel computer
users, especially in disciplines where large amounts of computer
time are regularly used.
