Description
Summary:The volume contains the proceedings of a workshop on "Parallel Algorithms and Transputers for Optimization" which was held at the University of Siegenon November 9, 1991 plus some invited papers covering topics related to this workshop. In contrast to many other publications on parallel processing and supercomputers, the main focus of the contributions were "problem oriented". This view reflects the following philosophy: How can the existing computing infrastructure (PCs, workstations, local area networks) of an institution or a company be used for parallel and distribution computation. The volume contains 12 papers of 20 authors from four general areas: (I) the use of massive parallel systems (data parallelism), (II) the use of coarse-grained parallel approaches on multiprocessor systems (control parallelism), (III) OpTiX - a system for parallel nonlinear optimization and (IV) using concepts from nature for parallel optimization. Computional aspects of the work described were carried out on a broad spectrum of parallel architectures ranging from shared-memory vector multiprocessorsto networks of PCs or workstations and distributed memory multiprocessor systems such as networks of transputers or the SUPRENUM.
