The  difficulty associated with combining fault-tolerance and efficiency is  that the two have conflicting means: fault-tolerance is achieved by  introducing redundancy, while efficiency is achieved by removing  redundancy. This monograph demonstrates how in certain models of  parallel computation it is possible to combine efficiency and  fault-tolerance and shows how it is possible to develop efficient  algorithms without concern for fault-tolerance, and then correctly and  efficiently execute these algorithms on parallel machines whose  processors are subject to arbitrary dynamic fail-stop errors. The  efficient algorithmic approaches to multiprocessor fault-tolerance  presented in this monograph make a contribution towards bridging the  gap between the abstract models of parallel computation and realizable  parallel architectures. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eFault-Tolerant Parallel Computation\u003c\/em\u003e presents the state of the  art in algorithmic approaches to fault-tolerance in efficient parallel  algorithms. The monograph synthesizes work that was presented in  recent symposia and published in refereed journals by the authors and  other leading researchers. This is the first text that takes the  reader on the grand tour of this new field summarizing major results  and identifying hard open problems. This monograph will be of interest  to academic and industrial researchers and graduate students working  in the areas of fault-tolerance, algorithms and parallel computation  and may also be used as a text in a graduate course on parallel  algorithmic techniques and fault-tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792399223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-5210-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 183\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578396860556,"sku":"9780792399223","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792399223.jpg?v=1771511042","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792399223","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
