Learning from Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Systems Design

Brad Appleton brad@bradapp.net
by Brad Appleton, Steve Konieczka, Steve Berczuk – June 2004
This month we do a bit of a "context switch", from the world of parallel development, to the world of concurrent, parallel, and distributed systems design (and back again). The purpose is to see if any of the same patterns of concurrent, parallel, and distributed processing apply to the case of concurrent, parallel, and distributed development.
The Multiple Dimensions of Parallel Development
Multiple projects, multiple variants, multiple products, multiple teams, multiple sites, multiple customer/install bases, … multi-everything! Why does it all have to be so complicated! Each "multi"-something introduces a new dimension of complexity and scale for software development. The more "multi's" we have, the more diverse and complex the task of managing, organizing, integrating, coordinating and tracking all of the work.
