Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Multiprocessor/distributed programming, programming array and vector processors and data flow programming are all addressed in this book aimed at programmers and systems analysts. The authors examine major hardware development and software technology influencing parallelism by covering both synchronous and asynchronous techniques.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-250) and index.
