并行算法研究方法学

并行算法是计算机科学中重要的研究内容,已有几十年的发展历程.回顾一下其研究历程,既有高潮也有低谷,究其原因是,它没有形成自身的一套研究方法学.为此文中提出并行算法研究要建立起一套完整的"理论-设计-实现-应用"的学科体系,也就是所谓的并行算法研究的生态环境.只有这样才能够保持并行算法研究稳定、可持续发展,并使得并行算法的研究成果更加实用,从而更富有生命力.

Methodology of Research on Parallel Algorithms

Parallel Algorithm is an important research area in computer science,with a development history of several decades.Based on the research history with downturn and climax,the authors figure out the reason for that is absent of a research methodology on parallel algorithms.This paper concludes research on parallel algorithms should establish a complete system of "Theory-Design-Implementation-Applications",which is ecological environment of parallel algorithms research.Only in this way can we maintain the steady and sustainable development of parallel algorithms research.Moreover,the results of research on parallel algorithms will be more practical and more full of vitality.
