Introduction to Concurrency in Programming Languages, Hardcover by Sottile, Matthew J.; Mattson, Timothy G.; Rasmussen, Craig E., ISBN 1420072137, ISBN-13 9781420072136, Brand New, Free shipping in the USExploring how concurrent programming can be assisted by language-level techniques, the authors focus on novel language abstractions that add concurrency to programs written in familiar languages. After examining the limitations of traditional programming techniques and models when dealing with concurrency, the text describes how hardware and corresponding high-level techniques were developed to deal with these limitations. The remainder of th presents common high-level programming techniques and their application to a range of algorithms. The authors offer case studies on genetic algorithms, fractal generation, cellular automata, game logic for solving Sudoku puzzles, pipelined algorithms, and more.
