The constantly increasing demand for more computing power can seem
impossible to keep up with. However, multicore processors capable
of performing computations in parallel allow computers to tackle
ever larger problems in a wide variety of applications. This book
provides a comprehensive introduction to parallel computing,
discussing theoretical issues such as the fundamentals of
concurrent processes, models of parallel and distributed computing,
and metrics for evaluating and comparing parallel algorithms, as
well as practical issues, including methods of designing and
implementing shared- and distributed-memory programs, and standards
for parallel program implementation, in particular MPI and OpenMP
interfaces. Each chapter presents the basics in one place followed
by advanced topics, allowing novices and experienced practitioners
to quickly find what they need. A glossary and more than 80
exercises with selected solutions aid comprehension. The book is
recommended as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate
students and as a reference for practitioners.
