Optical media are now widely used in the telecommunication
networks, and the evolution of optical and optoelectronic
technologies tends to show that their wide range of techniques
could be successfully introduced in shorter-distance
interconnection systems. This book bridges the existing gap between
research in optical interconnects and research in high-performance
computing and communication systems, of which parallel processing
is just an example. It also provides a more comprehensive
understanding of the advantages and limitations of optics as
applied to high-speed communications. Audience: The book will be a
vital resource for researchers and graduate students of optical
interconnects, computer architectures and high-performance
computing and communication systems who wish to understand the
trends in the newest technologies, models and communication issues
in the field.
Efficient parallel solutions have been found to many problems. Some
of them can be obtained automatically from sequential programs,
using compilers. However, there is a large class of problems -
irregular problems - that lack efficient solutions. IRREGULAR 94 -
a workshop and summer school organized in Geneva - addressed the
problems associated with the derivation of efficient solutions to
irregular problems. This book, which is based on the workshop,
draws on the contributions of outstanding scientists to present the
state of the art in irregular problems, covering aspects ranging
from scientific computing, discrete optimization, and automatic
extraction of parallelism. Audience: This first book on parallel
algorithms for irregular problems is of interest to advanced
graduate students and researchers in parallel computer science.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
International Workshop on Parallel Algorithms for Irregularly
Structured Problems, IRREGULAR '96, held in Santa Barbara,
California, in August 1996.
The volume presents 28 revised full papers selected from 51
submissions; also included are one full invited paper by Torben
Hagerup and abstracts of four other invited talks. The papers are
organized in topical sections on sparse matrix problems,
partitioning and domain composition, irregular applications,
communication and synchronization, systems support, and mapping and
load balancing.
Solving combinatorial optimization problems can often lead to
runtime growing exponentially as a function of the input size. But
important real-world problems, industrial applications, and
academic research challenges, may demand exact optimal solutions.
In such situations, parallel processing can reduce the runtime from
days or months, typical when one workstation is used, to a few
minutes or even seconds.
Partners of the CEC-sponsored SCOOP Project (Solving Combinatorial
Optimization Problems in Parallel) contributed, on invitation, to
this book; much attention was paid to competent coverage of the
topic and the style of writing. Readers will include students,
scientists, engineers, and professionals interested in the design
and implementation of parallel algorithms for solving combinatorial
optimization problems.
