Scientific Parallel Computing

"The authors of this well-written book provide a good overview of most of the issues they address, and their survey of different parallel programming languages and methodologies is quite impressive."--Suely Oliveira, University of Iowa"I have used a different text each time I have taught parallel computing, but felt that they missed important material that I wished to include. This book includes many topics not addressed in other parallel computing texts, and the first few chapters are particularly well written."--Ashok Srinivasan, Florida State University"This well-organized book takes a unique approach in its focus on all the intricacies involved in determining parallel performance, and I especially appreciated its use of the same small problems, summation, to motivate many concepts."--Nan C. Schaller, Rochester Institute of Technology
