【内容简介】
多核体系结构的出现使得并行程序设计技术对软件工程师和计算机系统设计师变得日益重要。本书着重论述并行计算的基本原理,解释各种现象,并分析为何这些现象是成功进行并行程序设计的机遇或阻碍。.
本书是高等院校计算机专业高年级本科生或低年级研究生的理想教科书,同时也是专业程序员从事并行程序设计的理想入门书。
本书内容
以原理第一的原则重点阐述并行计算的基本原理,而不是指导读者“如何”去管理当前商品化的并行计算机。
以原理为背景讨论流行的程序设计语言并论述当代并行计算机编程所使用的工具。..
使用注释框对书中所提及的内容进行饶有兴趣的扩展。
使用定义框对书中关键词和概念进行定义。
每章附有习题,便于读者掌握所论述的概念。
第10章着重论述可能影响该研究领域未来的当前进展。
第11章为读者构造实际的并行程序提供第一手的实践经验。...

【前言】
Welcome! .
For readers who are motivated by the advent of multi-core chips to learn parallel programming, you've come to the right place. This book is written for a world in which parallel computers are everywhere, ranging from laptops with two-core chips to supercomputers to huge data-center clusters that index the Internet.
This book focuses on scalable parallelism, that is, the ability Of a parallel program to run well on any number of processors. This notion is critical for two reasons: (1) Most of the techniques needed to create..
