Parallel Programming

     ...and cluster architecture, An Introduction to Parallel Programming explains how to design, debug, and evaluate the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs. User-friendly exercises teach students how to compile, run and modify example programs. Key features: - Takes a tutorial approach, starting with small programming examples and building progressively to more challenging examples - Focuses on designing, debugging and evaluating the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs - Explains how to develop parallel programs using MPI, Pthreads, and OpenMP programming models...

     ...students to write and evaluate their parallel programs. Supported by the National Science Foundation and exhaustively class-tested, it is the first text of its kind that does not require access to a special multiprocessor system, concentrating instead only on parallel programs that can be executed on networked workstations using freely available parallel software tools. The Second Edition has been revised to incorporate a greater focus on cluster programming as this type of programming has become more widespread with the availability of low-cost computers....
