Description	Advanced computer architectures are centered around the concept of parallel processing. The basic idea behind parallel processing is that programs using parallel processors should run much faster than otherwise identical programs using only one processor. In the past decade many new parallel computers have emerged in research institutes as well as on the commercial market. Scientists and engineers are now facing the great challenge to meet the ever-increasing capability of the parallel computers, hardware, and software. They can now solve larger and more complex problems than hitherto. However, the parallel processing environment also introduces increased complexity in software design and algorithmic strategy. The development of parallel algorithms requires decomposing the solution of a problem into concurrently executable tasks (or processes), balancing computational loads in processors, arranging the task execution schedule, synchronizing operations, organizing data access and movement, planning communication among processors, and so on. It is believed that the main stumbling block to the use of parallel computers is the difficulty of formulating algorithms for them. Book Name: Parallel Processing in Computational Mechanics
