Description
An Introduction to Parallel Programming, Third Edition presents a tried-and-true tutorial approach that shows students how to develop effective parallel programs with MPI, Pthreads and OpenMP. As the first undergraduate text to directly address compiling and running parallel programs on multi-core and cluster architecture, this new edition carries forward its clear explanations for designing, debugging and evaluating the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs while adding coverage of such topics as target directives in OpenMP for programming GPUs. New and improved 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
- Explains how to develop parallel programs using MPI, Pthreads and OpenMP programming models
- A robust package of online ancillaries for instructors and students includes lecture slides, solutions manual, downloadable source code, and an image bank
