High Performance Cluster Computing: Programming and Applications Volume 2 Hardcover - 1999

From the publisher

A comprehensive guide to todays most advanced R&D in highly parallel programming and applications. Volume 1 of this two-volume set collected todays best work on the systems aspects of high performance cluster computing. Now, in High Performance Cluster Computing: Programming and Application Issues, Volume 2, Rajkumar Buyya brings together the worlds leading work on programming and applications for todays state-of-the-art commodity supercomputers. The book is organized into three areas: programming environments and development tools; Java(tm) as a language of choice for development in highly parallel systems; and state-of-the-art high performance algorithms and applications. All three areas have seen major advances in recent years-and in all three areas, this book offers unprecented breadth and depth. Coverage includes: * New parallel programming techniques and tools, including MP and PVM, active objects, scoped behavior, and LiPS. State-of-the-art debuggng techniques: Code liberation, global renaming, name reclamation, and debugging interfaces. The WebOS: Designing operating system services for wide-area applications. Leveraging Java(tm) to the fullest: Distributed objects, the H
