Parallel Algorithms for Vlsi Computer-Aided Design [Textbook Binding]

Prithviraj Banerjee (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 14, 1994 | ISBN-10: 0130158356 | ISBN-13: 978-0130158352 | Edition: 1

Parallel computing is becoming an increasingly cost effective and affordable means for providing enormous computing power, and massively parallel (MPP) machines have been relatively easy to build. However, designing good parallel algorithms that can efficiently use the hardware resources to get the maximum performance remains a challenge. This text discusses the design and use of practical parallel algorithms for solving problems in a growing application area whose computational requirements are enormous - VLSI CAD applications. It also examines practical parallel algorithms (written in C and pseudo-C) for all forms of parallel programming - shared memory, MIMD, message passing distributed MIMD and SIMD, for a variety of interesting applications, with experimental results.

From the Back Cover

Parallel computing is becoming an increasingly cost effective and affordable means for providing enormous computing power, and massively parallel processing (MPP) machines have been relatively easy to build. However, designing good parallel algorithms that can efficiently use the hardware resources to get the maximum performance remains a challenge. This is the first book to discuss the design and use of practical parallel algorithms for solving problems in a growing application area whose computational requirements are enormous: VLSI CAD applications. Discusses practical parallel algorithms (written in C and pseudo-C) for all three forms of parallel programming -- shared memory MIMD, message passing distributed MIMD, and SIMD -- for a wide variety of interesting applications -- with actual experimental results. For engineers in VLSI CAD or parallel computer companies; and students and professors in electrical engineering and computer science.
