TY - JOUR AU - VISHNUBHOTLA, PRASAD AB - Parallel processing is appearing as a promising approach to large‐scale engineering computations. High performance can be achieved by using powerful microprocessors in parallel. The research challenge is to reformulate the problem, develop parallel algorithms, and devise new computational stratagems in order to utilize fully the capabilities of parallel machines. This article presents a review of parallel processing including various interconnection networks in multiprocessors, commercial parallel processors, and parallel programming languages and algorithms. Present applications of parallel processing in civil engineering are also described.
