The international authorship includes experts from around the globe, from Texas to Tokyo, from Leiden to London. Compiled by faculty at the University of Illinois and sponsored by Penn State University, these Pr...

Concurrent systems are generally understood in terms of behavioral notions. Models for Concurrency analyzes the subject in terms of events and their temporal relationship rather than on global states. It presents a comprehensive analysis of model theory applied to concurrent protocols, and seeks to provide a theory of concurrency that is both intuitively appealing and rigorously based on mathematical foundations. The book is divided into three main sections. The first introduces the required con...

Computational clusters have long provided a mechanism for the acceleration of high performance computing (HPC) applications. With today's supercomputers now exceeding the petaflop scale, however, they are also exhibiting an increase in heterogeneity. Thisheterogeneity spans a range of technologies, from multiple operating systems to hardware accelerators and novel architectures. Because of the exceptional acceleration some of these heterogeneous architectures provide, they are being embraced as...

This book addrsesses the dialog issues that must be resolved in building effective spoken natural language dialog systems. The authors present an architecture for dialog processing for which an implementation has been constructed that exhibits a number of behaviours required for efficient human-machine dialog including: problem-solving to help the user carry out a task, coherent sub-dialog movement during the problem-solving process, user model usage, expectation usage for contextual interpretat...

Parallel computer architectures are now being used in applications ranging from image analysis to quantum mechanics. However, their use poses serious problems and requires the development of new techniques and tools. This book is a collection of the papers presented at a workshop on major research activity, held at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg and the Technical University of Munich. The book is divided into five main parts: hardware aspects of multiprocessor systems; the performance of pa...

Parallel programming and the effective exploitation of parallel computers will play an increasingly important part in the future development of computer systems. One method of parallel processing which promises to deliver very high performance and algorithmically specialized devices at low cost by exploiting the capabilities of very large scale integration (VLSI) techniques is the systolic paradigm. The term systolic is derived from the term "systole" which means the regular, recurrent contracti...

Presents a structured introduction to OCCAM 2, the parallel programming language specifically designed for the novel architecture microprocessor. This 2nd edition maintains the the strengths of the previous edition, while adding more features of the language, and offering extensive examples.

The introduction of high-speed serial communication links and general purpose VLSI routers offers new opportunities in system design. C104 routers can be used to construct high throughput, low latency interconnection networks for use in telecommunications, parallel computers and electronic systems in general. The T9000 transputer with its integrated communication links can be connected directly to these networks, providing high performance data-handling, protocol conversion and network control....

The papers included in this book provide a wide coverage of current thinking and the new concepts which are being developed resulting from the introduction of the T9000. The role and use of the newly developed transputer and associated routing component, the C104, is discussed, and the use of existing range of transputers in the embedded systems market is also dealt with.

Comprises discussions presented by leading international experts on the application of transputers. Coverage includes formalism, specifications and design, concurrent systems development, parallel algorithms, real time systems and applications.

The symposium held in Reading in March 1992 celebrated the completion of a 5-year Initiative in the Engineering Applications of Transputers. It reviewed achievements in a range of applications and supporting fields and predicted future developments. This book represents a collection of articles presented at this meeting, as well as independent reviews of the Transputer Initiative. The first part contains a collection of nearly all the papers presented, describing projects undertaken in collabora...

Detailed explanations will enable readers to understand and customize them to fit their specific needs. Features scores of examples, exercises, short and long CLISTs, and MVS JCL listings.

This book offers an approach to understanding the principles of parallel computing, derived from the author's experience of building the Texas Reconfigurable Array Computer (TRAC). It provides the principles for the analysis and comparison of parallel computers, and stresses two main ideas, an extension of the time-space product for measuring performance of a system and a graph-theoretical definition of interconnection networks. The book presents these two ideas as the theoretical basis for comp...

This is a special issue of the journal Concurrency: Practice and Experience. It synthesizes contributions from researchers at the forefront of this leading-edge technology and reports the latest results from internationally renowned research centers. Describes actual experiences in solving a wide range of scientific and computationally-intensive problems. Discusses such state of the art systems as massively parallel computers, parallel and distributed object-oriented systems and various types of...

This book is based on the author's personal views of parallel processing developed over the past 15 years, initially at Loughborough University of Technology and then at Reading University. The material brought together here is based on research work and courses given over that time. The author does not expect that all workers in the field of parallel processing will agree with all the contents of this book, because it is the view of some that parallel processing would not be used if sequential...
