Description
This book contains collected papers from the Second Workshop on Abstract Machine Models for Highly Parallell Computers, sponsored by the BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group. Overall themes of the workshop were the specification, implementation, and application of such models, and identification of key issues for future research. The 18 papers provide a broad coverage of the field, including terminology and concepts for abstract models of computation, models for general purpose parallel computing, declarative models, performance modelling, and special purpose parallel models. This book is intended for postgraduate computer scientists.
