Features: This book primarily discusses in-depth issues in computer architecture and parallel computing. The main content includes: an introduction to advanced computer architecture and parallel processing, multi-processor interconnection networks, performance analysis of multi-processor architectures, shared memory multi-processor architectures, message passing multi-processor architectures, abstract models of parallel computing, network computing, the environment and tools for parallel programming (including parallel programming in parallel virtual machines and the Message Passing Interface), as well as task scheduling and allocation in parallel computing. The book is reasonably sourced, with a focus on case analysis and the ability to solve practical problems. It can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and electrical engineering programs, and is also a useful reference for practicing engineers and programmers.
