Algorithms and Parallel Computing (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

There is a software gap between the hardware potential and the performance that can be attained using today’s software parallel program development tools. The tools need manual intervention by the programmer to parallelize the code. Programming a parallel computer requires closely studying the target algorithm or application, more so than in the traditional sequential programming we have all learned. The programmer must be aware of the communication and data dependencies of the algorithm or appl

In the entryway of my cube, crowned by the ravishingly tacky 70’s lamp that I had to scam for my space once Jack D’Agostino moved (he’d found it in the 5th Floor Department Store – aka the place where everyone in our building dumped furniture they no longer wanted for their offices).

How to Distribute the Game of Life
For me, I find the exercise stimulating. However, a more practical reason is when you have a very large grid that you want to use in the simulation and the grid doesn't fit into the memory of a single node. This is one of the primary reasons that …

Answer by Computer Guy
There are many “distributed computing” projects. Almost every computer, old or new, spends many of it’s CPU cycles in the idle loop, waiting for something to happen. If you have a large computational project that can be broken up into bite-size pieces, they can be parceled out to many computers, and executed when each computer has nothing else to do.

One of the earliest and best known projects was SETI. My favorite project is looking for a cure for Tuberous Sclerosis:
