Parallel Computing: Methods, Algorithms and Applications focuses on the recent rapid developments made in both parallel computers and supercomputers. Methods and applications of parallel computation, together with the design and implementation of relevant application algorithms, are discussed under six subject groupings: Parallel computation, Parallel programming and software, Parallel algorithms for linear and non-linear equations, Parallel methods for ordinary and partial differential equations, Parallel algorithms for linear and non-linear optimization, Parallel computer applications, The topics covered range from the basic principles of parallel algorithms to methods used for their evaluation and their applications in Linear Algebra, Mathematical Programming and Optimization and Differential Equations for specific parallel architectures. The themes are brought together from areas of computer science, mathematics and engineering. Parallel Computing: Methods, Algorithms and Applications will therefore be of interest to computer scientists, computer designers and architects, applied mathematicians and electronic engineers. Physicists at postgraduate level and above will also find this book valuable. Parallel Computing: Methods, Algorithms and Applications contains all the papers presented at the International Meeting on Parallel Computing, Verona, Italy, 28-30 September 1988. Book jacket.
