Introduction to Parallel Computing : From Algorithms to Programming on State-of-the-Art Platforms, Paperback by Trobec, Roman; Slivnik, Boštjan; Bulic, Patricio; Robic, Borut, ISBN 3319988328, ISBN-13 9783319988320, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK<p>Advancements in microprocessor architecture, interconnection technology, and software development have fueled rapid growth in parallel and distributed computing. However, this development is only of practical benefit if it is accompanied by progress in the design, analysis and&nbsp;programming&nbsp;of parallel algorithms.</p><p>This concise textbook provides, in one place, three mainstream parallelization approaches, Open MPP, MPI and OpenCL, for multicore computers, interconnected computers and graphical processing units.&nbsp;An overview of practical parallel computing and principles will enable the reader to design efficient parallel programs for solving various computational problems on state-of-the-art&nbsp;personal&nbsp;computers&nbsp;and computing clusters.<br></p>Topics covered range from parallel&nbsp;algorithms, programming tools, OpenMP, MPI and OpenCL, followed by experimental measurements of parallel programs’ run-times, and by engineering analysis of obtained results for improved parallel execution performances.<br><p></p><p>Many&nbsp;examples and exercises support the exposition.</p><p></p><p></p>
