Download or read book Parallel Sorting Algorithms written by Selim G. Akl and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallel Sorting Algorithms explains how to use parallel algorithms to sort a sequence of items on a variety of parallel computers. The book reviews the sorting problem, the parallel models of computation, parallel algorithms, and the lower bounds on the parallel sorting problems. The text also presents twenty different algorithms, such as linear arrays, mesh-connected computers, cube-connected computers. Another example where algorithm can be applied is on the shared-memory SIMD (single instruction stream multiple data stream) computers in which the whole sequence to be sorted can fit in the respective primary memories of the computers (random access memory), or in a single shared memory. SIMD processors communicate through an interconnection network or the processors communicate through a common and shared memory. The text also investigates the case of external sorting in which the sequence to be sorted is bigger than the available primary memory. In this case, the algorithms used in external sorting is very similar to those used to describe internal sorting, that is, when the sequence can fit in the primary memory, The book explains that an algorithm can reach its optimum possible operating time for sorting when it is running on a particular set of architecture, depending on a constant multiplicative factor. The text is suitable for computer engineers and scientists interested in parallel algorithms.
Download or read book Topics in Parallel and Distributed Computing written by Sushil K. Prasad and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces beginning undergraduate students of computing and computational disciplines to modern parallel and distributed programming languages and environments, including map-reduce, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs), and graphical user interfaces (GUI) for mobile applications. The book also guides instructors via selected essays on what and how to introduce parallel and distributed computing topics into the undergraduate curricula, including quality criteria for parallel algorithms and programs, scalability, parallel performance, fault tolerance, and energy efficiency analysis. The chapters designed for students serve as supplemental textual material for early computing core courses, which students can use for learning and exercises. The illustrations, examples, and sequences of smaller steps to build larger concepts are also tools that could be inserted into existing instructor material. The chapters intended for instructors are written at a teaching level and serve as a rigorous reference to include learning goals, advice on presentation and use of the material, within early and advanced undergraduate courses. Since Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) now permeates most computing activities, imparting a broad-based skill set in PDC technology at various levels in the undergraduate educational fabric woven by Computer Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE) programs as well as related computational disciplines has become essential. This book and others in this series aim to address the need for lack of suitable textbook support for integrating PDC-related topics into undergraduate courses, especially in the early curriculum. The chapters are aligned with the curricular guidelines promulgated by the NSF/IEEE-TCPP Curriculum Initiative on Parallel and Distributed Computing for CS and CE students and with the CS2013 ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curricula.

Download or read book Parallel Algorithms written by Sandeep Nautam Bhatt and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the result of the Third DIMACS Implementation Challenge that was conducted as part of the 1993-94 Special year on Parallel Algorithms. The Implementation Challenge was formulated in order to provide a forum for a concerted effort to study effective algorithms for combinatorial problems and to investigate opportunities for massive speed-ups on parallel computers. The challenge invluded two problem areas for research study: tree searching, algorithms, used in game search and combinatorial optimization, for example, and algorithms for sparse graphs. Participants at sites in the US and Europe undertook projects from November 1993 through October 1994. The workshop was held at DIMACS in November 1994. Participants were encouraged to share test results, to rework their implementations considering feedback at the workshop, and to submit a final report for the proceedings. Nine papers were selected for this volume.

Download or read book Parallel Complexity Of Linear System Solution written by Bruno Codenotti and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1991-04-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most important parallel algorithms for the solution of linear systems. Despite the evolution and significance of the field of parallel solution of linear systems, no book is completely dedicated to the subject. People interested in the themes covered by this book belong to two different groups: numerical linear algebra and theoretical computer science, and this is the first effort to produce a useful tool for both. The book is organized as follows: after introducing the general features of parallel algorithms and the most important models of parallel computation, the authors analyze the complexity of solving linear systems in the circuit, PRAM, distributed, and VLSI models. The approach covers both the general case (i.e. dense linear systems without structure) and many important special cases (i.e. banded, sparse, Toeplitz, circulant linear systems).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the hardest computational problems have been successfully attacked through the use of probabilistic algorithms, which have an element of randomness to them. Concepts from the field of probability are also increasingly useful in analyzing the performance of algorithms, broadening our understanding beyond that provided by the worst-case or average-case analyses. This book surveys both of these emerging areas on the interface of the mathematical sciences and computer science. It is designed to attract new researchers to this area and provide them with enough background to begin explorations of their own.

This book was released on 2005-07-14 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 1,3, University of Siegen, language: English, abstract: Im Mittelpunkt dieser Diplomarbeit steht die Optimierung mehrstuger Probleme. Hinführend werden zunächst die theoretischen Hintergründe der Optimierung erläutert. Im Fokus der Erläuterungen steht die Unterscheidung der simulationsbasierten und der verteilten Optimierung. Simulationsbasierte Optimierungen lassen keine algebraische Berechnung von Zielfunktionswerten zu. Diese erfordern besondere Lösungsstrategien, da bei der Auswertung keine Ableitungsinformationen entstehen. Des Weiteren beschäftigt sich diese Diplomarbeit mit der Untersuchung und Implementierung von Lösungsstrategien für die Auswertung der Problemklasse der ableitungsfreien oder auch direkten Suchverfahren. Weiterhin wird auf die spezielle Problemstellung der Mehrstugkeit eingegangen, bei welcher nicht nur Zielfunktionswerte, sondern auch eine optimale Stufenzahl ermittelt werden müssen. Dabei sind die Ergebnisse der nächsten Stufe stets abhängig von denen der Stufen davor. Die bei der Auswertung von Punkten erforderliche hohe Rechenleistung bei der simulationsbasierten Optimierung lässt Einprozessorsysteme während der Optimierung schnell an zeitliche Grenzen stoÿen. Aus diesem Grund werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit zwei Algorithmen vorgestellt und implementiert, die vollständig verteilt rechnen und skalierbar sind. Kapitel 5 beschäftigt sich mit Scatter Search, einem etablierten Verfahren zur Lösung nichtlinearer, ableitungsfreier Probleme. Im Zuge dieser Arbeit wurde das Verfahren zur Lösung zweier Testprobleme eingesetzt, die Ergebnisse nden sich in Kapitel 6. [...]

Book excerpt: I felt deeply honored when Professor Sumit Ghosh asked me to write the foreword to his book with an extraordinary perspective. I have long admired him, ?rst as a student leader at Stanford, where he initiated the ?rst IEEE Computer Society’s student chapter, and later as an esteemed and inspiring friend whose transdisciplinary research broadened and enhanced the horizons of practitioners of computer science and engineering, including my own. His ideas, which are derived from his profound vision, deep critical thinking, and personal intuition, reach from information technology to bioscience, as - hibited in this excellent book. To me, an ordinary engineer, it opens up a panoramic view of the Universe of Knowledge that keeps expanding and - spiring,likethegoodIndianproverb,whichsays,“agoodbookinformsyou,an excellent book teaches you, and a great book changes you. ” I sincerely believe that Professor Ghosh’s book will help us change and advance the methods of systems engineering and technology. Vision Inspired vision sees ahead of others what will or may come to be, a vivid, imagined concept or anticipation. An inspired vision personi?es what is good and what like-minded individuals hope for. Our vision is one of creating an Internet of minds, where minds are Web sites or knowledge centers, which create, store, and radiate knowledge through interaction with other minds connected by a universal shared network. This vision will not just hasten the death of distance, but will also - carcerate ignorance.
