London: The British Computer Society Ltd 1958. First edition. <p>First edition exceptionally rare separately-paginated offprint inscribed by Gill of "the first paper on parallel programming . Subsequent papers on the subject did not appear for another seven years . A decade later interest in parallel programming had increased dramatically" Dauben. Today "parallel computing has become the dominant paradigm in computer architecture mainly in the form of multi-core processors" Wikipedia.</p>. THE BIRTH OF PARALLEL COMPUTING<br /> EXCEPTIONALLY RARE INSCRIBED OFFPRINT. <p>First edition exceptionally rare separately-paginated offprint inscribed by Gill of "the first paper on parallel programming . Subsequent papers on the subject did not appear for another seven years . A decade later interest in parallel programming had increased dramatically" Dauben p. 361. The origins of parallel programming can be traced to the early 19th century work of Charles Babbage Luigi Menabrea and Ada Lovelace but it was Gill who first formalised the concept on 16 December 1957 in a lecture he delivered to the British Computer Society published as the offered paper. He summarizes the aims of the paper as follows: "By 'parallel programming' is meant the control of two or more operations which are executed virtually simultaneously and each of which entails following a series of instructions. This can be brought about in a single computer either by equipping it with more than one control unit or by allowing time-sharing of one control unit between several activities; the latter case seems of greater practical interest. Some of the advantages to be gained and some of the programming problems to be solved in putting these ideas into practice are discussed." Gill goes on to discuss the meaning problems and potentialities of parallel programming as well as time-sharing and automatic interruption. The paper concludes with comments and questions from the audience in Gill's lecture together with his responses. This prescient article correctly predicted the future importance of parallel computing: "The use of multiple control units within a single machine will enable still higher overall computing speeds to be achieved when the ultimate speed of a single arithmetical unit has been reached" p. 6. In the 1960s and 1970s parallel computing was heavily utilized in industries that relied on large investments for R&D such as aircraft design and defence as well as modelling scientific problems such as meteorology. Parallelism became of central importance in high-performance computing especially with the advent of supercomputers in the late 1960s that employed multiple physical CPUs on nodes with their respective memory networked together in a hybrid-memory model. Today "parallel computing has become the dominant paradigm in computer architecture mainly in the form of multi-core processors" Wikipedia. Multi-core processors are used not only in modern supercomputers but also in desktop PCs for example Intel's Core Duo was the CPU for the first-generation Apple MacBook Pro. Stanley Gill was one of the most important early computer scientists. From 1946-48 he was employed at the National Physical Laboratory on punch card computing and the design of the Pilot ACE a cut down version of Alan Turing's full ACE design and one of the world's first stored-program computers. From 1952 to 1955 he was a Research Fellow at St John's College Cambridge working in a team led by Maurice Wilkes on the EDSAC the first full-size stored-program computer. With Wilkes and David Wheeler Gill co-authored The Preparation of Programs for an Electronic Digital Computer 1951 "the first book on computer programming" Tomash & Williams. We have been unable to locate any other copy of this offprint either in institutional collections or in commerce.</p> <br /> <p>Provenance: Stanley Gill 1926-75 computer pioneer inscribed on front wrapper 'With the author's compliments S. G.'.</p> <br /> <p>"Parallel processing is information processing that uses more than one computer processor simultaneously to perform work on a problem. This should not be confused with multitasking in which many tasks are performed on a single processor by continuously switching between them a common practice on serial machines. Computers that are designed for parallel processing are called parallel processors or parallel machines. Many parallel processors can also be described as supercomputers a more general term applied to the class of computer systems that is most powerful at any given time.</p> <br /> <p>"The need to coordinate the work of the individual processors makes parallel processing more complex than processing with a single processor. The processing resources available must be assigned efficiently and the processors may need to share information as the work progresses. Parallel processors are used for problems that are computationally intensive that is they require a very large number of computations. Parallel processing may be appropriate when the problem is very difficult to solve or when it is important to get the results very quickly.</p> <br /> <p>"Some examples of problems that may require parallel processing are image processing molecular modeling computer animations and simulations and analysis of models to predict climate and economics. Many problems such as weather forecasting can be addressed with increasingly complex models as the computing power is developed to implement them so there is always an incentive to create newer more powerful parallel processors. Although early work in parallel processing focused on complex scientific and engineering applications current uses also include commercial applications such as data mining and risk evaluation in investment portfolios. In some situations the reliability added by additional processors is also important.</p> <br /> <p>"Parallel processors are one of the tools used in high-performance computing a more general term that refers to a group of activities aimed at developing and applying advanced computers and computer networks. In 1991 a U.S. federal program the HPCC High Performance Computing and Communications program was introduced to support the development of supercomputing gigabit networking and computation-intensive science and engineering applications. The HPCC program uses the term 'Grand Challenges' to identify computationally intensive tasks with broad economic and scientific impact that will only be solved with high performance computing technologies.</p> <br /> <p>"As of 2002 most of the world's fastest computers are parallel processors. The number of processors may be from fewer than fifty to many thousands. Companies manufacturing these machines include IBM SGI Cray Hitachi and Fujitsu .</p> <br /> <p>"The two main categories of parallel processor are SIMD and MIMD. In a SIMD Single Instruction Multiple Data machine many processors operate simultaneously carrying out the same operation on many different pieces of data. In a MIMD Multiple Instruction Multiple Data machine the number of processors may be fewer but they are capable of acting independently on different pieces of data .</p> <br /> <p>"Different parallel architectures have varying strengths and weaknesses depending on the task to be performed. SIMD machines usually have a very large number of simple processors. They are suited to tasks that are massively parallel in which there are relatively simple operations to be performed on huge amounts of data. Each data stream is assigned to a different processor and the processors operate in lockstep synchronously each performing the same operation on its data at the same time. Processors communicate to exchange data and results either through a shared memory and shared variables or through messages passed on an interconnection network between processors each of which has its own local memory .</p> <br /> <p>"There is greater variety in the design of MIMD machines which operate asynchronously with each processor under the control of its own program. In general MIMD machines have fewer more powerful processors than SIMD machines. They are divided into two classes: multiprocessors also called tightly coupled machines which have a shared memory and multicomputers or loosely coupled machines which operate with an interconnection network. Although many of the earlier high-performance parallel processors used in government research were very large highly expensive SIMD machines MIMD machines can be built more easily and cheaply often with off-the-shelf components. Many different experimental designs have been created and marketed.</p> <br /> <p>"In a serial algorithm each step in the algorithm is completed before the next is begun. A parallel algorithm is a sequence of instructions for solving a problem that identifies the parts of the process that can be carried out simultaneously. To write a program for a parallel processor the programmer must decide how each sub-task in the algorithm will be assigned to processors and in what order the necessary steps will be performed and at what points communication is necessary. There can be many algorithms for a particular problem so the programmer needs to identify and implement the one best suited for a particular parallel architecture.</p> <br /> <p>"Sometimes 'software inertia' the cost of converting programming applications to parallel form is cited as a barrier to parallel processing. Some systems automatically adapt a serial process for parallel processing but this may not result in the best performance that can be obtained for that problem. In general it is difficult to write parallel programs that achieve the kind of high-speed performance of which parallel processors are theoretically capable. Programming languages have been developed specifically for use on parallel processors to handle parallel data structures and functions scheduling and memory management .</p> <br /> <p>"The speedup that can be obtained on a parallel machine depends on the number of processors available and also on the size of the problem and the way in which it can be broken into parts. Ideally speedup would be linear so that five processors would give a speedup of five or ten processors a speedup of ten. However a number of factors contribute to sub-linear speedup including additional software overhead in the parallel implementation load balancing to prevent idle processors and time spent communicating data between processors. A critical limitation is the amount of parallel activity that the problem allows. Gene Amdahl's Law says that the speedup of a parallel algorithm is limited by the fraction of the problem that must be performed sequentially" Edie Rasmussen .</p> <br /> <p>"The systems with multiple cores and processors were no longer just the domain of supercomputing but rather ubiquitous. The new laptops and even mobile phones contain more than one processing core. The mainstream adoption of parallel computing is a result of the cost of components dropping due to Moore's law that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years though the cost of computers halved . The manufacturers such as Dell and Apple have produced even faster machines for the home market that easily outperform the supercomputers of old that once took a room to house. Devices that contain multiple cores allow us to explore parallel-based programming on a single machine" . </p> <br /> <p>Since the 1990s many neuroscientists have argued that the human brain must function by means of parallel computation. Neurons are much slower than silicon-based components of digital computers. For this reason neurons could not execute serial computation quickly enough to match rapid human performance in perception linguistic comprehension decision-making etc. The only viable solution seems to be to replace serial computation with a "massively parallel" computational architecture in brain simulation models. It follows that artificial intelligence which aims to replicate human intelligence in certain areas will also make use of parallel processing. "There are several aspects of artificial intelligence which suggest that the application of some form of parallel computation and distributed systems might be appropriate" Roosta p. 501.</p> <br /> <p>"Stanley Gill was born 26 March 1926 in Worthing West Sussex England. He was educated at Worthing High School for Boys and was during his schooldays a member of an amateur dramatic society. In 1943 he was awarded a State Scholarship and went to St John's College Cambridge where he read Mathematics/Natural Sciences. He graduated BA in 1947 and MA in 1950. </p> <br /> <p>"Gill worked at the National Physical Laboratory from 1947 to 1950 where he met his wife Audrey Lee whom he married in 1949. From 1952 to 1955 he was a Research Fellow at St John's working in a team led by Maurice Wilkes; the research involved pioneering work with the EDSAC computer in the Cavendish Laboratory. In 1952 he developed a very early computer game. It involved a dot termed a sheep approaching a line in which one of two gates could be opened. The game was controlled via the lightbeam of the EDSAC's paper tape reader. Interrupting it such as by the player placing their hand in it would open the upper gate. Leaving the beam unbroken would result in the lower gate opening.</p> <br /> <p>"He gained a PhD in 1953 and following a year as Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana joined the Computer Department at Ferranti Ltd. In the UK in 1963 he was appointed Professor of Automatic Data Processing UMIST Manchester and following various consultancies including International Computers Ltd he was appointed in 1964 to the newly created Chair of Computing Science and Computing Unit at Imperial College University of London. This was later merged into the Imperial College Centre for Computing and Automation of which Gill became director whilst he worked as a consultant to the Ministry of Technology .</p> <br /> <p>"Gill travelled widely and advised on the establishment of departments of computing in several universities around the world. He was also President of the British Computer Society from 1967 to 1968" Wikipedia.</p> <br /> <p>Dauben Abraham Robinson: The Creation of Non-Standard Analysis 1995.

Co-Existence/Coexistence
Centre National de l'Audiovisuel 2012. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. NEW. Centre National de l'Audiovisuel Luxembourg 2012. Hardcover in unique marbled paper-covered boards marbling by Gill. First Edition First Printing. 152 pages. Edition of 1500 copies. Quarter bound in black leather. Gilt titles. No jacket as issued. 90 color reproductions with color gate-fold. Book Condition: New/Fine. <br /> <br /> Publisher's Description: "Coexistence In the summer of 2010 I was asked if I would be interested in making a photographic response to an area containing a pond situated within an industrial wasteland – the remains of the deceased steelmaking industry in Dudelange Luxembourg. My only previous experience with ponds had been during my teenage years when an obsession with pond life led me to spend long hours in my bedroom wearing a lab coat and peering into a microscope. That obsessive immersion into a strange and disorientating world had a profound effect on me personally and certainly left its mark on many of the photographic studies I have subsequently produced. I knew that the pond in Dudelange would be teeming with unseen life now that its industrial past had come to an end. From the 1920s until it was put out of use in 2006 the pond had been used to cool the blast furnaces and tiny but dense communities would be now forming and thriving in the absence of that extreme heat. For the eight months leading up to my first visit to the territory my mind increasingly started tuning into microscopic worlds within worlds and I became ever more aware of the many parallels between patterns and processes in the pond and those in our own lives as individual humans within societies. Slowly I became committed to the idea of attempting to bring these two apparently disparate worlds – so physically close yet so different in scale – visually closer together. Grappling with the idea of knitting together these parts of life that coexist but don’t belong together nor are ever usually seen together I decided to make a photographic study that would resemble a kind of tapestry. The University of Luxembourg kindly taught me to use one of their medical microscopes so that I was able to study single drops of the water and I began searching the pond for diatoms and other minuscule creatures and plant life. The more I thought about the human factor that was so essential to the series forming in my head the more I wanted to involve local people from the small town of Dudelange which has a substantial community of families with Portuguese and Italian origins. Many of these people used to work in the steelmaking industry. For health and safety reasons it was not possible to invite people to come to the cooling ponds so I decided instead to take the pond to the people. I filled a red plastic mop bucket with water from the pond and dipped my underwater camera into this pond water prior to making portraits of the Dudelange residents. Later on I also dipped the prints into the pond itself so microscopic life was also transferred onto the surface of the paper. Stephen Gill. Centre National de l'Audiovisuel hardcover

SIGNED. <br /> <br /> Publisher's Description: "Coexistence In the summer of 2010 I was asked if I would be interested in making a photographic response to an area containing a pond situated within an industrial wasteland – the remains of the deceased steelmaking industry in Dudelange Luxembourg. My only previous experience with ponds had been during my teenage years when an obsession with pond life led me to spend long hours in my bedroom wearing a lab coat and peering into a microscope. That obsessive immersion into a strange and disorientating world had a profound effect on me personally and certainly left its mark on many of the photographic studies I have subsequently produced. I knew that the pond in Dudelange would be teeming with unseen life now that its industrial past had come to an end. From the 1920s until it was put out of use in 2006 the pond had been used to cool the blast furnaces and tiny but dense communities would be now forming and thriving in the absence of that extreme heat. For the eight months leading up to my first visit to the territory my mind increasingly started tuning into microscopic worlds within worlds and I became ever more aware of the many parallels between patterns and processes in the pond and those in our own lives as individual humans within societies. Slowly I became committed to the idea of attempting to bring these two apparently disparate worlds – so physically close yet so different in scale – visually closer together. Grappling with the idea of knitting together these parts of life that coexist but don’t belong together nor are ever usually seen together I decided to make a photographic study that would resemble a kind of tapestry. The University of Luxembourg kindly taught me to use one of their medical microscopes so that I was able to study single drops of the water and I began searching the pond for diatoms and other minuscule creatures and plant life.
