This book includes techniques which enable researchers and  application developers to quantitatively determine the effects of  algorithm data dependencies on execution time, on communication  requirements, on processor utilization and on the speedups  possible.\u003cbr\u003e  Starting with simple, two-dimensional, diamond-shaped directed acyclic  graphs, the analysis is extended to more complex and higher  dimensional directed acyclic graphs. The analysis allows for the  quantification of the computation and communication costs and their  interdependencies. The practical significance of these results on the  performance of various data distribution schemes is clearly explained.  Using these results, the performance of the parallel computations are  formulated in an architecture independent fashion. These formulations  allow for the parameterization of the architecture specitific entities  such as the computation and communication rates. This type of  parameterized performance analysis can be used at compile time or at  run-time so as to achieve the most optimal distribution of the  computations.\u003cbr\u003e  The material in \u003cem\u003eMultiprocessing: Trade-Offs in Computation and\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eCommunication\u003c\/em\u003e connects theory with practice, so that the  inherent performance limitations in many computations can be  understood, and practical methods can be devised that would assist in  the development of software for scalable high performance  systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792393702\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3196-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 198\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578400268428,"sku":"9780792393702","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792393702.jpg?v=1771511072","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792393702","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
