Abstract

The computing requirements of many current and future applications, ranging from scientific computational problems in the material and physical sciences, to simulation, engineering design, and circuit analysis, are best served by concurrent processing. While hardware multiprocessors can frequently address the computational requirements of these high-performance applications, there are a number of integration aspects to concurrent computing that are not adequately addressed when conventional parallel processors are used to solve these problems.
