Series On Scalable Computing
5 primary works
Book 1
This book provides a forum for researchers in scalable computing to publish extended-length articles on significant new developments. An article may present comprehensive results from a major project, review recent work in a sub-domain, or expound new ideas in a detailed, tutorial fashion, at a length which most journals and conference proceedings cannot accommodate.The five articles in this book give an excellent illustration of the different types of material requiring such extensive treatment, and should serve well to encourage future authors with similar ideas to consider publishing in the Series on Scalable Computing.
Book 2
Continuing the Series on Scalable Computing launched in 1999, this volume presents five articles reviewing significant current developments in the field. The topics include the collaborative activities support system, parallel languages, Internet Java, the multithreaded dataflow machine, and task allocation algorithms.
Book 3
The third volume in the Series on Scalable Computing, this book contains five new articles describing significant developments in the field. Included are such current topics as clusters, parallel tools, load balancing, mobile systems, and architecture independence.
Book 4
A collection of seven long articles, this book comprehensively discusses significant projects in scalable computing in various research organizations around the world. It represents the quantitative and qualitative growth of work in the area.
Book 5
This book contains four review articles in the area of scalable computing. Two of the articles discuss methods and tools for the parallel solution of irregular problems, which have been satisfactorily worked out in heterogeneous systems. One surveys the technology and applications of multimedia server clusters, which are playing an increasing role in the current networked environment. An additional article discusses SilkRoad, which adds distributed shared memory capabilities to the Cilk parallel programming system. Once again, the book represents a new set of steps forward in parallel systems.
