This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on
Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing ICA3PP 2009 held in Taipei Taiwan in
June 2009. The 80 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 243
submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on bioinformatics in parallel
computing cluster grid and fault-tolerant computing cluster distributed parallel operating
