About this title

Review

..."as a comprehensive and readable introduction, this edition is guaranteed as long a life as its predecessor. As all supercomputer manufacturers embrace parallel processing, it will be found more frequently on physicists' bookshelves" Contemporary Physics ..."This book continues to be the recommended introduction into parallel computers. It provides a wide view of the machines currently available and the way in which they are progressing.... it represents a worthwhile investment for all interested in the field" BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group "Anyone interested in high end computing would do well to introduce themselves to the necessary software techniques sooner rather than later. With a bibliography containing over 500 references and a good index, this book is also a thorough reference work, and in summary is a welcome addition to the technical computing literature." The Australian Physicist. "It will certainly serve as an excellent text book for students and a good handbook for researchers and designers in this area."
