Revue de presse

This book comprehensively surveys parallel prefix algorithms for shared memory and circuit models. It is probably the only book available in the literature for such a detailed treatment of the subject. For the research student there are a good number of exercises at the end of each chapter; the algorithms are also presented in a form that can be easily implemented. The notation, too, is very readable. (Rajesh K. Mansharamani, Tata Research Development and Design Centre, Pune, India, The Computer Journal, Vol. 38, No. 3, 1995)
