Parallel Computers 2: Architecture, Programming and Algorithms reflects the shift in emphasis of parallel computing and tracks the development of supercomputers in the years since the first edition was published. It looks at large-scale parallelism as found in transputer ensembles. This extensively rewritten second edition includes major new sectio "? as a comprehensive and readable introduction, this edition is guaranteed as long a life as its predecessor. As all supercomputer manufacturers embrace parallel processing, it will be found more frequently on physicists' bookshelves."
-Contemporary Physics

"?This book continues to be the recommended introduction into parallel computers. It provides a wide view of the machines currently available and the way in which they are progressing. ? it represents a worthwhile investment for all interested in the field."
-BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group

"Anyone interested in high end computing would do well to introduce themselves to the necessary software techniques sooner rather than later. With a bibliography containing over 500 references and a good index, this book is also a thorough reference work and in summary is a welcome addition to the technical computing literature."
-The Australian Physicist
