Limits to Parallel Computation (eBook, PDF)

P-Completeness Theory

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the most important topics in parallel computation. It is written so that it may be used as a self-study guide to the field, and researchers in parallel computing will find it a useful reference for many years to come. The first half of the book consists of an introduction to many fundamental issues in parallel computing. The second half provides lists of P-complete- and open problems. These lists will have lasting value to researchers in both industry and academia. The lists of problems, with their corresponding remarks, the thorough index, and the hundreds of references add to the exceptional value of this resource. While the exciting field of parallel computation continues to expand rapidly, this book serves as a guide to research done through 1994 and also describes the fundamental concepts that new workers will need to know in coming years. It is intended for anyone interested in parallel computing, including senior level undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and people in industry. As an essential reference, the book will be needed in all academic libraries.

Rezensionen

an excellent reference manual. ... All the chapters are well written, and the extensive bibliography is useful. The authors have been extremely thorough and careful. ... the theory of P-completeness gives us important insights into the nature of the limits of parallel computation, and Greenlaw, Hoover, and Ruzzo have written an excellent reference work. I recommend it highly. Eric Allender, Computing Reviews, July 1996.
