From the back cover: "By delivering high performance at low cost, concurrent computers hold the promise of exciting new results in mathematical modeling. Unfortunately, progress has been hampered by the difficulty of the concurrent-programming task. While advanced users revel in obscure terminology and programming tricks, novice users are left in the dark as to which are the real issues. This book eliminates unneeded terminology and, through an in-depth study of a wide range of numerical methods, replaces an arsenal of programming tricks with a few basic techniques.
"This book is not only a foundation for the study of concurrent algorithms of scientific computing; it is also a bridge between disciplines. For mathematical modelers, this book offers insight into an exciting new computational tool, its capabilities, and its restrictions. For numerical analysts, this book offers a framework for the development of new concurrent numerical methods. For computer scientists, this book offers a test bed of scientific-computing algorithms."
