Parallel Computing

Description

Research in parallel computation deals with models of execution in which sets of independent operations can be carried out concurrently. Therefore it is concerned with formalization of models of parallelism, elucidation of problem parallelism, design of parallel algorithms, space-time tradeoffs, computing system layout, and investigation of the limits to parallelizability.
