About this title

Synopsis:

Designed for undergraduate level parallel programming courses. This nontheoretical, highly accessible text―which is linked to real parallel programming software―covers the techniques of parallel programming in a practical manner that enables students to write and evaluate their parallel programs. Supported by the National Science Foundation and exhaustively class-tested, it is the first text of its kind that does not require access to a special multiprocessor system, concentrating instead only on parallel programs that can be executed on networked workstations using freely available parallel software tools.

About the Author:

BARRY WILKINSON and MICHAEL ALLEN have created a comprehensive instructors support website, including examples, assignments, and instructional materials for using the MPI and PVM software. The materials include extensive web pages to help students learn how to compile and run parallel programs as well as sample programs.
