Concurrent Programming: 26 (Cambridge Computer Science Texts, Series Number 26)

by C . R . Snow (Author)

Synopsis

This textbook is designed as a first book on concurrent programming for computer science undergraduates, and provides a comprehensive introduction to the problems of concurrency. Concurrency is of vital importance in many areas of computer science, particularly in operating systems. It is also increasingly being taught in undergraduate courses. The book builds on the student's familiarity with sequential programming in a high level language, which will make it very accessible to computer science students. The book is concerned mainly with the high level aspects of concurrency, which will be equally applicable to traditional time sliced or more recent truly parallel systems.

Media Reviews
'... readable and well written ...' The Computer Journal
...this unostentatious, servicable little book merits serious consideration by those deciding on texts to support introductory courses on parallel programming. It deserves to be successful. Maurice Clint, The Times Higher
