Gropp, William
Using MPI: Portable Parallel Programming with the Message-Passing Interface (Scientific and Engineering Computation).
Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 1994. Paperback. 307 pp.- The parallel programming community recently organized an effort to standardize the communication subroutine libraries used for programming on massively parallel computers such as the Connection Machine and Cray's new T3D, as well as networks of workstations. The standard they developed, Message-Passing Interface (MPI), not only unifies within a common framework programs written in a variety of existing (and currently incompatible) parallel languages but allows for future portability of programs between machines. Three of the authors of MPI have teamed up here to present a tutorial on how to use MPI to write parallel programs, particularly for large-scale applications. MPI, the long-sought standard for expressing algorithms and running them on a variety of computers, allows leveraging of software development costs across parallel machines and networks and will spur the development of a new level of parallel software. This book covers all the details of the MPI functions used in the motivating examples and applications, with many MPI functions introduced in context. The topics covered include issues in portability of programs among MPP systems, examples and counterexamples illustrating subtle aspects of the MPI definition, how to write libraries that take advantage of MPI's special features, application paradigms for large-scale examples, complete program examples, visualizing program behaviour with graphical tools, an implementation strategy and a portable implementation, using MPI on workstation networks and on MPPs (Intel, Thinking Machines, IBM), scalability and performance tuning, and how to convert existing codes to MPI.

Robinson, J. Alan.
Natural and Artificial Parallel Computation.
Cambridge, MA. : The MIT Press, 1990. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 362 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - These eleven contributions by leaders in the fields of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science cover the phenomenon of parallelism in both natural and artificial systems, from the neural architecture of the human brain to the electronic architecture of parallel computers. The brain's complex neural architecture not only supports higher mental processes, such as learning, perception, and thought, but also supervises the body's basic physiological operating system and oversees its emergency services of damage control and self-repair. By combining sound empirical observation with elegant theoretical modeling, neuroscientists are rapidly developing a detailed and convincing account of the organization and the functioning of this natural, living parallel machine. At the same time, computer scientists and engineers are devising imaginative parallel computing machines and the programming languages and techniques necessary to use them to create superb new experimental instruments for the study of all parallel systems.

Wilson, Gregory V.
Practical Parallel Programming (Scientific and Engineering Computation).
Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 1995. Hardcover. 576 pp.- Parallel computers have become widely available in recent years. Many scientists are now using them to investigate the grand challenges of science, such as modeling global climate change, determining the masses of elementary particles from first principles, or sequencing the human genome. However, software for parallel computers has developed far more slowly than the hardware. Many incompatible programming systems exist, and many useful programming techniques are not widely known. Practical Parallel Programming provides scientists and engineers with a detailed, informative, and often critical introduction to parallel programming techniques. Following a review of the fundamentals of parallel computer theory and architecture, it describes four of the most popular parallel programming models in use today--data parallelism, shared variables, message passing, and Linda--and shows how each can be used to solve various scientific and numerical problems. Examples, coded in various dialects of Fortran, are drawn from such domains as the solution of partial differential equations, solution of linear equations, the simulation of cellular automata, studies of rock fracturing, and image processing.
