parallel computing are all emerging technologies that are crucial in many domains like
the economic sectors, but also increasingly in the medical domain. The requirements of
particular applications must be optimally supported, by selecting the right combination
of hardware and software architectures for satisfying specific constraints with regard to
performance, power and cost.
