Author Description

These papers from a September 2001 conference reflect the expansion of parallel processing into many areas of computer and communication technologies. They examine fundamental techniques, router architectures and algorithms, compiler techniques, Web servers and proxies, scheduling issues, network topology and broadcast, and performance of workstation clusters. Other areas addressed include data dependence analysis, network protocols, caching techniques, parallel applications and languages, wireless networks, routing in direct networks, multimedia systems and networks, parallel algorithms, and multicast communication. Individual papers report on research in areas such as tree topology for multicast congestion control, virtual cellular networks for non-uniformly distributed base stations, and latency of double-tree broadcast in wormhole-routed hypercubes. This work lacks a subject index. c. Book News Inc.
