Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Apram: The Rounds Complexity Measure and the Explicit Costs of Synchronization
In this paper we consider the effect of process asynchrony on parallel algorithm design. As is well known, the main effort in parallel algorithm design has employed the pram model. This model hides many of the implementation issues, allowing the algorithm designer to focus first and foremost on the structure of the computational problem at hand synchronization is one of these hidden issues.
