    FUNCTIONS, OBJECTS AND PARALLELISM: PROGRAMMING IN BALINDA K

    by Yuen Chung Kwong (National University of Singapore)

    Despite many years of research and development, parallel programming remains a difficult and specialized task. A simple but general model for parallel processing is still lacking.

    This book proposes a model that adds parallelism to functions and objects, allowing simple specification of both parallel execution and inter-process communication. Many examples of applying parallel programming are given.
     
    Contents:
    • Parallel Programming: The Basic Constructs
    • Functional Programming
    • Programming with Parallel Functions and Tuples
    • Objects in BaLinda K
    • Active Objects
    • Application Case Studies — Stock Trading System and Salishan Problems
    • Reviewing the Progress
     
    Readership: Graduate and senior undergraduate students of computer science and computer engineering, and IT professionals working in a multiprocessing or distributed computing environment.
