Parallel implementation of algorithms involves many difficult problems. In particular among them are round-off analysis, the way to convert sequential programs and algorithms into the parallel mode, the choice of appropriate or optimal computer architect and so on. To solve these problems, it is necessary to know very well the structure of algorithms. This book deal with the mathematical mechanism that permits us to investigate structures of both sequential and parallel algorithms. This mechanism allows us to recognize and explain the relations between different methods of constructing parallel algorithms, the methods of analysing round-off errors, the methods of optimizing memory traffic, the methods of working out the fastest implementation for a given parallel computer and other methods attending the joint investigation of algorithms and computers.Contents:IntroductionAlgorithm and its GraphGraph MachineAlgorithm Execution Time and its PropertiesHigh-Speed Algorithm ImplementationsAlgorithm and Computer MemeoryAlgorithm Graph and Round-Off ErrorsPropagation of Information in Processes of Algorithm ImplementationsAlgorithm Graphs and Sequential ProgramsParallelizing of Sequential ProgramsParallel Structure of AlgorithmsExamplesReadership: Computer scientists and mathematicians.Key Features:Challenges the conventional realist understanding of Singapore's foreign policy in favor of a liberal institutionalist and social constructivist approachContains a collection of essays written between 1992 and 2005, thus providing a picture of the evolution of Singapore's foreign policyCovers topics such as the linkage between economics and national security; globalization versus regionalization; terrorism; regional, inter-regional and bilateral cooperation; and the impact of the rise of China and IndiaIncludes past speeches by Lee Kuan Yew, S Rajaratnam, S Dhanabalan and Tommy Koh on foreign policy
