Dalla quarta di copertina

Today's most complete reference on the rapidly evolvingsoftware technology used in parallel and distributed computing
Designing, developing, and utilizing the kinds of versatile computingenvironments that will effectively support today's complex scientific andengineering applications is an ongoing research challenge. Tools andEnvironments for Parallel and Distributed Computing is the first comprehensivesurvey of the successful computing methodologies used in today's scientificcommunities, including both a summary of past techniques and an introduction tofuture technologies.

Covering a wide variety of approaches to parallel anddistributed computing, with emphasis on such factors as tradeoffs betweenperformance and cost, the authors present a thorough survey of today's mostpromising software applications, their strengths and limitations, including:

  • Grid computing
  • Message-passing tools
  • Distributed shared-memory tools
  • Distributed object computing tools

Each methodology is supported by detailed case studies.
An important hands-on reference for researchers, educators, and practitionersin the field, this is a practical guide for the development and selection oftoday's scientific and engineering software systems.
