This volume provides an ideal introduction to key topics in parallel computing. With its cogent overview of the essentials of the subject as well as lists of P -complete- and open problems, extensive remarks corresponding to each problem, a thorough index, and extensive references, the book will prove invaluable to programmers stuck on problems that are particularly difficult to parallelize. In providing an up-to-date survey of parallel computing research from 1994, Topics in Parallel Computing will prove invaluable to researchers and professionals with an interest in the super computers of the future.
