The evolutionary transition from traditional serial to parallel systems offers the promise of a quantum leap in the computing power that can be brought to bear on many important problems. Parallel systems are being applied throughout industry now, but many important questions remain. This book describes the current theory and applications of these systems, describing the crucial applications in which parallel computing is being used.
