In an effort to get the ball rolling, I have drafted an outline version of Chapter 2 (Parallel Programming Considerations). I would like your feedback on the outline before proceeding. It is basically reconstructed from my notes of the meeting with some material that I have include from Ian's technologies overview section (which would need to be revised if this material is moved.) Some issues: 1. Do we really want it to come before the architectures chapter? Yes 2. Is this the right set of sections? reference my chapter application pictures (gropp) dynamic what is pipeline/asynchronous 3. Are there pieces I have left out? What was supposed to go in the OS section? Is there an O/S! (as in CM-2 versus IBM model) Services File Security Registration etc. Ken
