Algorithms sequential [and] parallel : a unified approach

**Reflecting the growing importance of parallel computing in mainstream computer technology, this book offers a fully integrated study of parallel and sequential algorithms—helping readers understand the application and analysis of algorithmic paradigms to both the (traditional) sequential model of computing and to a variety of parallel models, and showing them how solution strategies may be shared among computer architectures.Relates/contrasts sequential and parallel algorithms where appropriate (i.e., covers a paradigm—such as divide-and-conquer—and then considers design, analysis, and implementation issues for both the sequential and parallel models). Reviews mathematical concepts and develops mathematical tools early on—including asymptotic analysis, induction and recursion, and Master Method; provides a broad variety of architectures and application areas (including matrix operations, computational geometry, graph algorithms, and numerical problems). Offers many illustrations, exercises, and worked examples. Assumes basic knowledge of data structures, discrete mathematics and calculus. **For advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and computer science industry professionals.****

For a one-semester, junior/senior-level course in Algorithms. Attuned to the rapidly changing landscape in computer technology, this unique and very progressive text helps students understand the application and analysis of algorithmic paradigms to both the traditional sequential model of computing and to a variety of parallel models-offering a unified, fully integrated coverage of both model types so that students can learn to recognize how solution strategies may be shared among computer paradigms and architectures The text offers a unified approach that relates sequential and parallel algorithms where appropriate and contrasts where appropriate.Mathematical tools are developed in early chapters.A variety of examples are worked out in great detail with multiple methods of solutions.Sequential and parallel examples and exercises are featured.Supplemental material is available for instructors.A Prentice Hall Companion Website with additional material is available at http: //www.prenhall.com/millerboxer. This work aims to provide an understanding of the analysis and applications of algorithmic paradigms, to both the traditional sequential model of computing and to a variety of parallel models. Concepts are applied to a broad range of subject areas, including matrix operations
