Features: This book primarily focuses on fractal graphics as its research subject, introducing methods for constructing parallel/distributed systems. The content of the book is the result of research conducted by the Parallel/Distributed Processing Laboratory of Yanshan University in recent years, mainly aimed at providing a practical reference for researchers in parallel computing and distributed systems within China. The first half of the book discusses the classification, characteristics, computational complexity of fractal graphics, and the necessity of using parallel environments to generate and process fractal graphics. The second half introduces the compilation implementation of parallel platforms, distributed computing processing, and the generation and output of graphics in two parallel programming environments: PVM and MPI. The book also provides several typical design examples and performance and parallel parameter analysis during the generation of these examples.
