Overview: Technical academic text offering an extensive collection of optimal and efficient parallel algorithms for regular architectures, focusing on meshes and pyramids.

Content details: Covers models of computation, forms of input, data movement operations, and sample algorithms, with chapters on fundamental mesh algorithms, mesh algorithms for images and graphs, mesh algorithms for computational geometry, tree-like pyramid algorithms, and hybrid pyramid algorithms.

Additional sections include order notation, recurrence equations, bibliography, and a detailed list of figures illustrating key algorithms and data-movement patterns.

Details: Intended for researchers and practitioners who need to implement efficient parallel programs; discusses applications to image processing, computational geometry, and graph theory.

Physical details and features: Sturdy hardcover binding, clean and readable black-and-white text, mathematical formulations, diagrams and figures throughout, bibliographic references, and academic-style layout.

Condition notes: Boards show mild shelf wear; page block edges display spotting and small stains, and there is noticeable water staining/wrinkling on the endpapers and a few interior pages while the main text remains fully legible.
