About the Book
This book is the result of the first conference organized under the auspices of the Parallel Computing Society, the only independent international forum where researchers, manufacturers and users of parallel computers can exchange expertise and experience in the development and use of all types of systems. The emphasis is on applications of parallel computing. In addition to papers discussing the development of new algorithms for, and applications of, various types of parallel computers, an overview of the newest developments regarding parallel computer hardware and software is given.
