Résumé

There are clear indications that the combination of several computers into a sinle-system image is the way of the future: Combining hardware into a multiprocessor is very costly; specialized operating systems are too inefficient up front, too costly to maintain over the long run, or both.

Today's solution is to combine several single processors over and inexpensive network. This is called cluster architecture, and it requires sophisticated application software.

An understanding of such systems will become essential in the very near future. This book will become the reference of choice among software architects who want to make a transition into this field.
