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.
