Parallel and Distributed Programming Using C++

"As we cross the divide to instantiate ourselfs into our computational technology, our indentity will be based on our evolving mind file. We will be...

Taking Advantage of Interface Classes It is often advantageous to use encapsulation to hide the details of function libraries and to provide self-contained components that can...

To confront some of the complexity with writing and maintaining programs that require concurrency, we try to streamline and simplify the API to the parallel...

Besides using interface classes to simplify and to create new fat interfaces for the parallel and message-passing libraries, we may also want to extend existing...

To see how the user-defined class can be used with the pvm_stream class, we will improve on the PVM palette producing routines introduced in...

To arrive at a design for object-oriented pipes, we start with basic characteristics and behavior that all pipes have in common. A pipe is a...

A framework is a class or collection of classes that has a predefined structure and represents a generalized pattern of work. In the same manner...

The challenges to parallel programming introduced in can be reasonably approached using the building blocks that we introduced in this chapter. The importance of the...
