About the book

The present collection of articles is the result of many years of research conducted by our team into various aspects of designing and building the component base of promising high-speed computational systems. The articles deal with the following topics: 

(a) the optimal design and functioning of parallel computational systems, (b) the optimal recognition of optical and acoustic fields in synthesizing an optimal dynamic analyzer, and (c) the modeling of nonlinear transfer processes in the component base of a computer. 

We discuss new mathematical methods that can be applied in solving specific problems arising in the construction of mathematical models for handling the above-mentioned three topics. Although various countries have developed devices and technological processes for creating new generations of computers, there is still no general theoretical approach. In this respect the present collection fills an important gap in the literature on the subject.
