Description
Parallel computing has begun to play a vital role in the advancement of science, engineering, and modern technology. This increased sophistication in research has led to a need for larger and faster computers, ie for parallel computers and they in turn are themselves stimulating the redevelopment of new computational methods. Recently parallelism has become the most frequently used technique to explore solutions to compute intensive situations. In parallel computing, the areas computer engineering and physical sciences overlap considerably with the academic areas of mathematics and computer science. The knowledge requirement in each of these areas is different and requires an understanding of the growing complexity of computer architecture that has occurred over the past decade before being able to make progress in the parallel computing area. "Advances in Parallel Computing" will attempt to address two specific areas. Firstly, survey articles of current interest in parallelism and secondly, research topics in parallelism which are constantly appearing and progressing in new directions.
Thus, the series will include and explore topics that have just been identified as future research areas. The authors of these articles will be drawn from researchers who are current leaders in the field.
