An Introduction to Distributed and Parallel Computing
This book provides a comprehensive overview of both the hardware and software issues involved in designing state-of-the-art distributed and parallel computing systems. Essential for both students and practitioners, this book explores distributed computing from the bottom-up approach, starting with computing organization, communications and networks, and then discussing operating systems, client/server architectures, distributed databases and other applications. The book also includes coverage of parallel language design, including Occam and Linda. Each chapter ends with questions, and the book contains an extensive glossary and list of reference sources.
An Introduction to Parallel Programming
An Introduction to Parallel Programming, Second 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 second edition carries forward its clear explanations for designing, debugging and evaluating the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs while adding coverage of accelerators via new content on GPU programming and heterogeneous programming. New and improved user-friendly exercises teach students how to compile, run and modify example programs. - 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 New to this edition: - New chapters on GPU programming and heterogeneous programming - New examples and exercises related to parallel algorithms
