Editorial Reviews
Review
"…an excellent reference for tools and paradigms for building high performance parallel and distributed computing systems…" (Computing Reviews.com, February 3, 2005)
"This book is recommended for libraries supporting graduate level programs in computer science and programs utilizing high-performance computing in their research.” (E-STREAMS, August 2004)
From the Back Cover
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.

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.
