Parallel Programming (eBook, PDF)

for Multicore and Cluster Systems

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook covers the new development in processor architecture and parallel hardware. It provides detailed descriptions of parallel programming techniques that are necessary for developing efficient programs for multicore processors as well as for parallel cluster systems and supercomputers.

The book is structured in three main parts, covering all areas of parallel computing: the architecture of parallel systems, parallel programming models and environments, and the implementation of efficient application algorithms. The emphasis lies on parallel programming techniques needed for different architectures. In particular, this third edition includes an extended update of the chapter on computer architecture and performance analysis taking new developments such as the aspect of energy consumption into consideration. The description of OpenMP has been extended and now also captures the task concept of OpenMP. The chapter on message-passing programming has been extended and updated to include new features of MPI such as extended reduction operations and non-blocking collective communication operations. The chapter on GPU programming also has been updated. All other chapters also have been revised carefully.

The main goal of this book is to present parallel programming techniques that can be used in many situations for many application areas and to enable the reader to develop correct and efficient parallel programs. Many example programs and exercises are provided to support this goal and to show how the techniques can be applied to further applications. The book can be used as a textbook for students as well as a reference book for professionals. The material of the book has been used for courses in parallel programming at different universities for many years.

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"The book presents the current status of parallel programming. Well-organized and well-written, the textbook can be needed worldwide by computer science students that are enrolled in learning parallel programming. ... Each chapter presents in an accessible manner the complex theory behind parallel computing. The numerous figures and code fragments are very helpful. Moreover, each chapter ends with several exercises." (Dana Petcu, zbMATH, Vol. 1295, 2014)

"The authors provide an excellent introduction to the techniques needed to create and understand parallel programming. ... I recommend this book as a text for a course in parallel programming or for use by programmers learning about parallel programming. It provides a useful mix of theory and practice, with excellent introductions to pthreads and MPI, among others." (Charles Morgan, Computing Reviews, January, 2014)
