1. Leadership in Computational mathematics and parallel computing

2. The cluster parallel computer becomes the hotspot in parallel computing research.

3. Chapter 9 on provable intractability , and Chapter 10 on advanced topics, including approximation algorithms, alternation, interactive proof systems, cryptography, and parallel computing.

4. A high accurate alternating group 8-point scheme for convection diffusion problems is given. It can be used for parallel computing and is proved unconditionally stable.

5. As power consumption (and consequently heat generation) by computers has become a concern in recent years, parallel computing has become the dominant paradigm in computer architecture, mainly in the form of multi-core processors.
