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...
Games Programming has been written for the personal computer owner who is setting out to write fams programs. It charts the territory which lies beyond the simplistic arcade game and which leads to the more intellectually exciting game moderators and learning programs. This is not another book of program listings, nor does it present game algorithms in isolation from the computer methods which make them work. The aim is to equip the reader with an awareness of modern techniques of structured pro...

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...
Multiscale Phenomena And Their Simulation - Proceedings Of The International Conference
Multiscale Phenomena play an essential role in the dynamics of many complex systems. Owing to their inherent nonlinearity and the involvement of many different length scales, these systems are often only be studied through numerical simulations. The book focused on common structures and problems in fluid dynamics, particle physics and macromolecule simulations. An important aspect of the discussions was the development of simulation techniques for massively parallel computers and recent advances...
The demand for more and more computer power in numerical weather prediction and meteorological research is as strong as ever. Previously, the world meteorological community tried to meet this demand by exploiting parallelism. In this field, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts has established itself as the central venue for bringing together operational weather forecasters, climate researchers and parallel computer manufacturers to share their experiences through a series of wo...
Functions, Objects And Parallelism: Programming In Balinda K
by Chung Kwong Yuen
Despite many years of research and development, parallel programming remains a difficult and specialized task. A simple but general model for parallel processing is still lacking.This book proposes a model that adds parallelism to functions and objects, allowing simple specification of both parallel execution and inter-process communication. Many examples of applying parallel programming are given.

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...
Algorithms & Architectures For Parallel Processing, 4th Intl Conf
ICA3PP 2000 was an important conference that brought together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to advance the knowledge of parallel and distributed computing. The proceedings constitute a well-defined set of innovative research papers in two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing: (1) architectures, algorithms and networks; (2) systems and applications.
Learn different ways of writing concurrent code in Elixir and increase your application's performance, without sacrificing scalability or fault-tolerance. Most projects benefit from running background tasks and processing data concurrently, but the world of OTP and various libraries can be challenging. Which Supervisor and what strategy to use? What about GenServer? Maybe you need back-pressure, but is GenStage, Flow, or Broadway a better choice? You will learn everything you need to know to ans...
The constantly increasing demand for more computing power can seem impossible to keep up with. However, multicore processors capable of performing computations in parallel allow computers to tackle ever larger problems in a wide variety of applications. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to parallel computing, discussing theoretical issues such as the fundamentals of concurrent processes, models of parallel and distributed computing, and metrics for evaluating and comparing parallel...

Computation Checkpointing & Migration
by Vipin Chaudhary, Hai Jiang, and John Paul N. Walters
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 aims at being a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to the concept of self-stabilization, introduced by Edsger Wybe Dijkstra in 1973.Self-stabilization characterizes the ability of a distributed algorithm to converge within finite time to a configuration from which its behavior is correct (i.e., satisfies a given specification), regardless the arbitrary initial configuration of the system. This arbitrary initial configuration may be the result of the occurrence of a finite numbe...
