The first volume focuses on "Architectures and Systems" issues; and second volume focuses on "Programming and Applications". For more information, please see: http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/~rajkumar/hpcc.html http://www.phptr.com/ptrbooks/ptr_0130137847.html http://www.phptr.com/ptrbooks/ptr_0130137855.html At the web site (http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/~rajkumar/hpcc.html), you will find the following information: * Preface * Table of Contents * Sample Chapter * and other useful links Thanks for your attention. Best regards, Sincerely, PS: Slides prepared in power-point are available for faculty members; to get them, please email: rajkumar@ieee.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ High Performance Cluster Computing: Architectures and Systems, Volume 1, Edited by Rajkumar Buyya, Prentice Hall, NJ, USA, 1999. Clustering is becoming increasingly popular, as cluster systems can deliver better performance than traditional mainframes and supercomputers at a much lower hardware cost. They can also offer high performance, scalability and high availability to organizations. This comprehensive guide book covers every key issue associated with high-performance cluster computing such as networking, light-weight protocols, resource management systems, representative cluster computing systems. Topics covered include cluster middleware, single system image, active messages, process migration and load balancing, metacomputing, Beowulf cluster, and much more. --- High Performance Cluster Computing: Programming and Applications, Volume 2, Edited by Rajkumar Buyya, Prentice Hall, NJ, USA, 1999. This is the only comprehensive source for up-to-the-minute research on programming and applications for state-of-the-art highly-parallel "commodity supercomputers." The book is organized into three areas: programming, environments and development tools; Java as a language of choice for development in highly parallel systems; and state-of-the-art high performance algorithms and applications. All three areas have seen major advances in recent years-and in all three areas, this book offers unprecedented breadth and depth. Now, in this second volume, Rajkumar Buyya brings together contributions from some 30 leaders, addressing the field's most critical programming and applications challenges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Articles to bigrigg+parallel@cs.cmu.edu (Admin: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu) Archive: http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/comp.parallel
