Author Peter Pacheco uses a tutorial approach to show students how to develop effective parallel programs with
MPI, PThreads, and OpenMP. The first undergraduate text to directly address compiling and running parallel programs
on the new multi-core and cluster architecture, An Introduction to Parallel Programming explains how to
design, debug, and evaluate the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs. User-friendly exercises
teach students how to compile, run and modify example programs.
Key features:
Takes a tutorial approach, starting with small programming examples and building progressively to more challenging
examples
Focuses on designing, debugging and evaluating the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs
Explains how to develop parallel programs using MPI, Pthreads, and OpenMP programming models
