Parallel Programming  (English, Paperback, Wilkinson Barry)

Parallel Programming: Techniques and Applications Using Networked Workstations and Parallel Computers is a comprehensive book for computer and networking professionals working with parallel computing. The book introduces beginners to the concepts of parallel processing and shows how to incorporate parallel processing concepts into their programs. The book stresses on non-theoretical, real-world solutions to problems and shows students how to write programs which thrive on the ability to process data across several processors at once. The book has been tested with several classroom environments and has been proved to be applicable even to environments without a special multiprocessor system, concentrating instead only on parallel programs that can be executed on networked workstations using freely available parallel software tools. In addition, the new edition stresses on cluster programming, keeping the cost of computing in mind while carrying out processing and coding. The book is an indispensable resource for all coders and programming professionals.
