{"product_id":"parallel-algorithms-henri-casanova-9781584889458","title":"Parallel Algorithms","description":"Focusing on algorithms for distributed-memory parallel architectures, \u003cb\u003e Parallel Algorithms\u003c\/b\u003e presents a rigorous yet accessible treatment of theoretical models of parallel computation, parallel algorithm design for homogeneous and heterogeneous platforms, complexity and performance analysis, and essential notions of scheduling. The book extracts fundamental ideas and algorithmic principles from the mass of parallel algorithm expertise and practical implementations developed over the last few decades. \u003cp\u003eIn the first section of the text, the authors cover two classical theoretical models of parallel computation (PRAMs and sorting networks), describe network models for topology and performance, and define several classical communication primitives. The next part deals with parallel algorithms on ring and grid logical topologies as well as the issue of load balancing on heterogeneous computing platforms. The final section presents basic results and approaches for common scheduling problems that arise when developing parallel algorithms. It also discusses advanced scheduling topics, such as divisible load scheduling and steady-state scheduling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith numerous examples and exercises in each chapter, this text encompasses both the theoretical foundations of parallel algorithms and practical parallel algorithm design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri Casanova, Arnaud Legrand, Yves Robert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584889454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584889458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.90d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Casanova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44365360103679,"sku":"9781584889458","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94ab88b1-2c42-411b-ba7d-f4348e87614e.jpg?v=1697058086","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parallel-algorithms-henri-casanova-9781584889458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
