Book Description

This book is the comprehensive, authoritative reference on parallel and distributed systems that everyone who works with or follows this rapidly advancing technology has long needed. Featuring contributions from a stellar team of international experts - and reviewed by an equally elite group of editorial advisors - the book is packed with the type of late-breaking, proprietary information you just can't find in any other single source.

Each individual chapter provides an overview of central developments and future directions in a specific area - delivered by a recognized expert in that discipline, and supported by an abundance of illustrations and data tables.

You'll find complete accounts of: theoretical foundations upon which the technology is being built, along with algorithms, models, and paradigms; cutting edge architectures and technologies; and the latest industrial and commercial applications across a range of fields, including numerous case histories and development tolls.

A true compendium of the current knowledge about parallel and distributed systems - and an incisive, informed forecast of future developments - the book is clearly the standard reference on the topic, and will doubtless remain so for years to come.

• Alberto Ros's research interests include cache coherence protocols, memory hierarchy designs, and scalable multiprocessor architectures.

• Is Parallel Programming Hard? If So, What Can You Do About It?

  It examines what makes parallel programming hard, and describes design techniques that can help you avoid many parallel-programming pitfalls. It is primarily intended for low-level C/C++ code, but offers valuable lessons for other environments as well.

• Parallel Programming with CUDA: Architecture, Analysis, Application

  This book offers a detailed guide to CUDA with a grounding in parallel fundamentals. With CUDA, you can use a desktop PC for work that would have previously required a large cluster of PCs or access to a High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility.

• Data Parallel C++: Mastering DPC++ Programming

  Learn how to accelerate C++ programs using Data Parallelism. This book enables C++ programmers to be at the forefront of this exciting and important new development that is helping to push computing to new levels.

• Pro TBB: C++ Parallel Programming with Threading Building Blocks

  This book is a modern guide for all C++ programmers to learn Threading Building Blocks (TBB). It presents numerous examples and best practices to help you become an effective TBB programmer and leverage the power of parallel systems.

• Introduction to Parallel Computing (Blaise Barney)

  This book explains how to design, debug, and evaluate the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs. It teaches students how to compile, run and modify example programs. It is a complete end-to-end source of information on almost all aspects.

• Parallel Programming in MPI and OpenMP (Victor Eijkhout)

  This is a textbook about parallel programming of scientific application on large computers, learn how to design, analyze, implement, and benchmark parallel programs in C/C++ and Fortran using Message Passing Interface (MPI) and/or OpenMP.

• Parallel Scientific Computing in C++ and MPI: Algorithms

  This book provides a seamless approach to numerical algorithms, modern programming techniques and parallel computing, includes both basic and advanced topics and places equal emphasis on the discretization of partial differential equations and on solvers.

• The Practice of Parallel Programming (Sergey A. Babkin)

  This book provides an advanced guide to the issues of the parallel and multithreaded programming. It goes beyond the high-level design of the applications, into the details that are often overlooked but vital to make the programs work.
