7 Decomposition
In this chapter:
- You learn decomposition techniques to efficiently break down programming problems into separate, independent tasks
- You learn popular concurrency patterns for creating concurrent applications: the pipeline, map, fork/join, and map/reduce patterns
- You learn how to choose the granularity of your applications
- You learn how to use agglomeration to reduce communication overhead and increase system performance
Previously, we learned that concurrent programming implies decomposing a problem into independent units of concurrency or tasks. Deciding how to decompose a problem into concurrent tasks is one of the more difficult but important steps. Automatically decomposing programs using a concurrent programming approach ...
