Book description
Essential reading to understand patterns for parallel programming
Software patterns have revolutionized the way we think about how
software is designed, built, and documented, and the design of
parallel software requires you to consider other particular design
aspects and special skills. From clusters to supercomputers, success
heavily depends on the design skills of software developers.
Patterns for Parallel Software Design presents a
pattern-oriented software architecture approach to parallel software
design. This approach is not a design method in the classic sense, but
a new way of managing and exploiting existing design knowledge for
designing parallel programs. Moreover, such approaches enhance not
only build-time properties of parallel systems, but also, and
particularly, their run-time properties.
- Features known solutions in concurrent and distributed
programming, applied to the development of parallel programs
- Provides architectural patterns that describe how to divide an
algorithm and/or data to find a suitable partition and link it
with a programming structure that allows for such a division
- Presents an architectural point of view and explains the
development of parallel software
Patterns for Parallel Software Design will give you the skills
you need to develop parallel software.
