About the Book

Today, the C++ language remains one of the most important languages used by professional software developers. Many corporations and government agencies have large investments in applications that are developed using the C++ language. Those corporations and government agencies are now Web-enabling their applications. Applications that were originally developed as simple client/server now requires Internet/Intranet face-lifts. This book helps software developers and programmers who need to add the techniques of parallel and distributed programming to existing applications. Parallel programming uses multiple computers, or computers with multiple internal processors, to solve a problem at a greater computational speed than using a single computer. It also offers the opportunity to tackle larger problems; that is, problems with more computational steps or more memory requirements.

Table of Contents:
Preface. 1. The Joys of Concurrent Programming. What is Concurrency? The Benefits of Parallel Programming. The Benefits of Distributed Programming. The Minimal Effort Required. The Basic Layers of Software Concurrency. No Keyword Support for Parallelism in C++. Programming Environments for Parallel and Distributed Programming. Summary–Toward Concurrency. 2. The Challenges of Parallel and Distributed Programming. The Big Paradigm Shift. Coordination Challenges. Sometimes Hardware Fails and Software Quits. Too Much Parallelization or Distribution Can Have Negative Consequences. Selecting a Good Architecture Requires Research. Different Techniques for Testing and Debugging are Required. The Parallel or Distributed Design Must Be Communicated. Summary. 3. Dividing C++ Programs into Multiple Tasks. Process: A Definition. Anatomy of a Process. Process States. Process Scheduling. Context Switching. Creating a Process. Terminating a Process. Process Resources. What are Asynchronous and Synchronous Processes? Dividing the Program into Tasks. Summary. 4.

Adding Parallel Programming Capabilities to C++ through the PVM. The Classic Parallelism Models Supported by PVM. The PVM Library for C++. The Basic Mechanics of the PVM. Accessing Standard Input (stdin) and Standard Output (stdout) within PVM Tasks. Summary. 7. Error Handling, Exceptions, and Software Reliability. What is Software Reliability? Failures in Software Layers and Hardware Components. Definitions of Defects Depend on Software Specifications. Recognizing Where to Handle Defects versus Where to Handle Exceptions.
