GRAPHS AND GRAPH algorithms are pervasive in modern computing applications. This book describes the most important known methods for solving the graph-processing problems that arise in practice. Its primary aim is to make these methods and the basic principles behind them accessible to the growing number of people in need of knowing them. The...

Task scheduling for parallel systems can become a quagmire of heuristics, models, and methods that have been developed over the past decades. The author of this innovative text cuts through the confusion and complexity by...

In the last few years, changes have had a profound influence on the problems addressed by compiler designers. First, the proliferation in machine architectures has necessitated the fine-tuning of compiler back ends to exploit features such as multiple memory banks, pipelines and clustered architectures. These features provide potential for...

First published in 1991, Project Planning, Scheduling, and Control has become the standard guidebook for achieving real-world project management success. Renowned for its non-theoretical exploration of the techniques—and even more important, the...
