Parallel Programming Made Simple: Using Groovy Parallel Patterns

The use of the Groovy Parallel Patterns Library is explained by using published sequential algorithms for problems such as Montecarlo simulation, Concordance, the n-body problem, Jacobi’s method, Mandelbrot, image processing, sorting, and the Goldbach Conjecture. The parallel solution’s performance is compared to that of the sequential implementation, explaining how the speedup has been obtained. A novel visualization system is described that shows how the objects pass through the parallel structure. One chapter is devoted to demonstrating the model is provably correct using CSPm and FDR.
