Description:

This book contains papers collected from the Second Workshop on Abstract Machine Models for Highly Parallel Computers, sponsored by the BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group. The eighteen papers cover a wide range of topics, including the specification, implementation, and application of abstract machine models, key issues for future research, and terminology. Models for general purpose parallel computing, declarative models, performance modelling, and special purpose parallel models are also covered. Students, researchers, and professionals in computing will want to read this informative and up-to-date new book.
