Bøger i Chapman & Hall/CRC Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Series serien

An overview of the next generation in computing. It explores grid projects, core grid technologies, and applications of the grid. It covers virtual organizations, scheduling algorithms, fault tolerance strategies, grid workflow management systems, and security technologies.

Grid technology offers the potential for providing secure access to remote services, thereby promoting scientific collaborations in an unprecedented scale. This title presents a comprehensive account of the architectural issues of grid technology, such as security, data management, logging, and aggregation of services, and related technologies.

Focusing on algorithms for distributed-memory parallel architectures, this book covers theoretical models of parallel computation, parallel algorithm design for homogeneous and heterogeneous platforms, complexity and performance analysis, and essential notions of scheduling.
