This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Graph Drawing, GD 2002, held in Irvine, CA, USA, in August 2002.The 24 revised full papers, 9 short papers, and 7 software demonstrations presented together with a report on the GD 2002 graph drawing contest were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 48 regular paper submissions. All current aspects of graph drawing are addressed.
Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) dominate the high-end server market and are currently the primary candidate for constructing large scale multiprocessor systems. Yet, the design of e cient parallel algorithms for this platform c- rently poses several challenges. The reason for this is that the rapid progress in microprocessor speed has left main memory access as the primary limitation to SMP performance. Since memory is the bottleneck, simply increasing the n- ber of processors will not necessarily yield better performance. Indeed, memory bus limitations typically limit the size of SMPs to 16 processors. This has at least twoimplicationsfor the algorithmdesigner. First, since there are relatively few processors availableon an SMP, any parallel algorithm must be competitive with its sequential counterpart with as little as one processor in order to be r- evant. Second, for the parallel algorithm to scale with the number of processors, it must be designed with careful attention to minimizing the number and type of main memory accesses. In this paper, we present a computational model for designing e cient al- rithms for symmetric multiprocessors. We then use this model to create e cient solutions to two widely di erent types of problems - linked list pre x com- tations and generalized sorting. Both problems are memory intensive, but in die rent ways. Whereas generalized sorting algorithms typically require a large numberofmemoryaccesses, they areusuallytocontiguousmemorylocations. By contrast, prex computation algorithms typically require a more modest qu- tity of memory accesses, but they are are usually to non-contiguous memory locations.
Based on the authors market leading data structures books in Java and C++, this book offers a comprehensive, definitive introduction to data structures in Python by authoritative authors. Data Structures and Algorithms in Python is the first authoritative object-oriented book available for Python data structures. Designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to data structures and algorithms, including their design, analysis, and implementation, the text will maintain the same general structure as Data Structures and Algorithms in Java and Data Structures and Algorithms in C++. * Begins by discussing Python s conceptually simple syntax, which allows for a greater focus on concepts. * Employs a consistent object-oriented viewpoint throughout the text. * Presents each data structure using ADTs and their respective implementations and introduces important design patterns as a means to organize those implementations into classes, methods, and objects. * Provides a thorough discussion on the analysis and design of fundamental data structures. * Includes many helpful Python code examples, with source code provided on the website. * Uses illustrations to present data structures and algorithms, as well as their analysis, in a clear, visual manner. * Provides hundreds of exercises that promote creativity, help readers learn how to think like programmers, and reinforce important concepts. * Contains many Python-code and pseudo-code fragments, and hundreds of exercises, which are divided into roughly 40% reinforcement exercises, 40% creativity exercises, and 20% programming projects.
Fundamental data structures in a consistent object-oriented framework Now revised to reflect the innovations of Java 5.0, Goodrich and Tamassia's Fourth Edition of "Data Structures and Algorithms in Java" continues to offer accessible coverage of fundamental data structures, using a consistent object-oriented framework. The authors provide intuition, description, and analysis of fundamental data structures and algorithms. Numerous illustrations, web-based animations, and simplified mathematical analyses justify important analytical concepts. Key Features of the Fourth Edition: Updates to Java 5.0 include new sections on generics and other Java 5.0 features, and revised code fragments, examples, and case studies to conform to Java 5.0. Hundreds of exercises, including many that are new to this edition, promote creativity and help readers learn how to think like programmers and reinforce important concepts. New case studies illustrate topics such as web browsers, board games, and encryption. A new early chapter covers Arrays, Linked Lists, and Recursion. A new final chapter on Memory covers memory management and external memory data structures and algorithms. Java code examples are used extensively, with source code provided on the website. Online animations and effective in-text art illustrate data structures and algorithms in a clear, visual manner.
