The author proposes choosing the model that permits the most computation in a given amount of time. Two main theorems are proven: the first asserts that for every exclusive-read exclusive-write parallel RAM or synchronous distributed machine, there exists a simulation of the Fetch-and-Add parallel RAM into the same machine that uses the same order of computational resources. This implies the choice of a Fetch-and-Add parallel RAM model of computation. The second theorem asserts that for every synchronous distributed machine, there exists a simulation of the exclusive-read exclusive-write parallel RAM into the same machine that uses the same order of computational resources. These findings further support the use of Fetch-and-Add primitives in parallel computation design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
