An IEEE Life Fellow, He has published extensively in computer architecture, digital arithmetic, parallel processing, distributed systems, Internet security, and cloud computing. He has founded the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing and delivered three dozens of keynote addresses in major IEEE/ACM Conferences. He received the 2004 Outstanding Achievement Award from China Computer Federation and the IEEE 2011 IPDPS Founders' Award for his pioneering contributions in the field of parallel processing.

Jack Dongarra is a University Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Tennessee, a Distinguished Research Staff, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a Turning Fellow at the University of Manchester. An ACM/IEEE/ SIAM/AAAS Fellow, Dongarra pioneered the areas of supercomputer benchmarks, numerical analysis, linear algebra solvers, and high-performance computing and published extensively in these areas. He leads the Linpack benchmark evaluation of the Top-500 fastest computers over the years. Based on his high contributions in the supercomputing and high-performance areas, he was elected as a Member of the National Academy of Engineering in the USA.

Geoffrey Fox is a Distinguished Professor of Informatics, Computing and Physics and Associate Dean of Graduate studies and Research in the School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University. He has taught and led many research groups at Caltech and Syracuse University, previously. He received his Ph.D. from Cambridge University, U.K. Fox is well known for his comprehensive work and extensive publications in parallel architecture, distributed programming, grid computing, web services, and Internet applications. His book on Grid Computing (coauthored with F. Berman and Tony Hey) is widely used by the research community. He has produced over 60 Ph.D. students in physics, computer science and engineering over the years.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A distributed systems textbook for creating high-performance, scalable, and reliable cloud-based distributed systems

Distributed and Cloud Computing

From Parallel Processing to the Internet of Things

Kai Hwang, Geoffrey C. Fox, Jack Dongarra

Distributed and Cloud Computing is a comprehensive and up-to-date textbook that covers the convergence of high performance computing, distributed and cloud computing, virtualization, and grid computing. The authors integrate an awareness of application and technology trends that are shaping the future of computing. The book is an excellent resource for students as well as seasoned practitioners.

Thomas J. Hacker, Associate Professor, Purdue University

With double-digit growth predicted in industry, today's students need to learn cloud computing to successfully enter the workforce. Distributed and Cloud Computing brings the principles of cloud computing to distributed systems courses. Starting with an overview of modern distributed models, the book exposes the design principles, systems architecture, and innovative applications of parallel, distributed, and cloud computing systems. It teaches how to create high-performance, scalable, reliable systems for research, e-commerce, social networking, supercomputing, and more, with examples from open-course and commercial applications.

Features

• Complete coverage of modern distributed computing technology including clusters, the grid, service-oriented architecture, massively parallel processors, peer-to-peer networking, and cloud computing
• Includes case studies from the leading distributed computing vendors: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and more
• Explains how to use virtualization to facilitate management, debugging, migration, and disaster recovey
• Designed for undergraduate or graduate students taking a distributed systems course--each chapter includes exercises and further reading, with lecture slides and more available online
