Norman Matloff wrote:Why is this book different from all other parallel programming books? It is aimed more on the practical end of things, in that:
- There is very little theoretical content, such as O() analysis, maximum theoretical speedup, PRAMs, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and so on.
- Real code is featured throughout.
- We use the main parallel platforms—OpenMP, CUDA and MPI—rather than languages that at this stage are largely experimental or arcane.
- The running performance themes—communications latency, memory/network contention, load balancing and so on—are interleaved throughout the book, discussed in the context of specific platforms or applications.
- Considerable attention is paid to techniques for debugging.
