On the Design and Analysis of Parallel and Distributed Algorithms

Arrival of multicore systems has enforced a new scenario in computing, the parallel and distributed algorithms are fast replacing the older sequential algorithms, with many challenges of these techniques. The distributed algorithms provide distributed processing using distributed file systems and processing units, while network is modeled as minimum cost spanning tree. On the other hand, the parallel processing chooses different language platforms, data parallel vs. parallel programming, and GPUs. Processing units, memory elements and storage are connected through dynamic distributed networks in the form of spanning trees. The article presents foundational algorithms, analysis, and efficiency considerations.
