PARLE '93 Parallel Architectures and Languages Europe: 5th International PARLE Conference, Munich, Germany, June 14-17, 1993. Proceedings [Paperback]

Parallel processing offers a solution to the problem ofproviding the processing power necessary to help understandand master the complexity of natural phenomena andengineering structures. By taking several basic processingdevices and connecting them together the potential exists ofachieving a performance many times that of an individualdevice. However, building parallel application programs istoday recognized as a highly complex activity requiringspecialist skills and in-depth knowledge. PARLE is aninternational, European based conference which focuses onthe parallel processing subdomain of informatics andinformation technology. It is intended to become THEEuropean forum for interchange between experts in theparallel processing domain and to attract both industrialand academic participants with a technical programmedesignedto provide a balance between theory and practice.This volume contains the proceedings of PARLE '93. The PARLEconference came into existence in 1987 as an initiative fromthe ESPRIT I programme and the format was revised in1991/92. PARLE '93 is the second conference with the newformat and was held in Munich.Simulation-based comparison of hash functions for emulated shared memory.- Task management, virtual shared memory, and multithreading in a distributed memory implementation of Sisal.- Simulating the data diffusion machine.- 2DT-FP: An FP based programming language for efficient parallel programming of multiprocessor networks.- The data-parallel categorical abstract machine.- Data parallel implementation of extensible sparse functional arrays.- Embeddings of tree-related networks in incomplete hypercubes.- Static and dynamic performance of the M?bius cubes (short version).- Optimal mappings of m dimensional FFT communication to k dimensional mesh for arbitrary m and k.- Implicit parallelism: The united functions and objects approach.- Detection of recurrences in sequential programs with loopl39
