Parallel hardware has been ubiquitous for some time now. It’s difficult to find a laptop,
desktop, or server that doesn’t use a multicore processor. Beowulf clusters are
nearly as common today as high-powered workstations were during the 1990s, and
cloud computing could make distributed-memory systems as accessible as...
