Book available online, and was recommended by a known guru This book was recommended on the beowulf@beowulf.org mailing list. They pointed out the book's site - with the book online - is at http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/dbpp/ - so you can check it out and then buy a copy. | ||
good book It is one of the books I love. It is easy to read and provide a good background about parallel programs' design. | ||
Libro de texto El libro está muy bien como libro de texto de alguna asignatura de software paralelo. Está dividido en dos partes, teoria, y herramientas. La parte de teoria esta realmente bien (5 estrellas). Explica las diferentes partes del diseño y construcción de software paralelo, basandose en la metodologia PCAM. La parte de erramientas está totalmente desfasada (2 estrellas) muestra herramientas que ya hace tiempo que dejaron de existir, CCC o PVM. No contempla nuevas herramientas de software paralelo como OpenMP y similares. Únicamente el tema de MPI y HPF estan bien, pero no como libro de consulta, sinó más bien como introducción. | ||
Well worth reading I enjoyed this book a great deal. The concepts and rational for parallel design are well covered. | ||
A very good book for beginners A good book for people new to parallel concepts. Good discussion of parallel concepts and current parallel tools. Easy to read. | ||
