Synopsis

A hands-on introduction to parallel programming based on the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) standard, the de-facto industry standard adopted by major vendors of commercial parallel systems. This textbook/tutorial, based on the C language, contains many fully-developed examples and exercises. The complete source code for the examples is available in both C and Fortran 77. Students and professionals will find that the portability of MPI, combined with a thorough grounding in parallel programming principles, will allow them to program any parallel system, from a network of workstations to a parallel supercomputer.

...the detailed discussion of many complex and confusing issues makes the book an important information source for programmers developing large applications using MPI. --L.M. Liebrock, ACM Computing Reviews
Author Bio
Peter Pacheco received a PhD in mathematics from Florida State University. Aftercompleting graduate school, he became one of the first professors in UCLA's Programin Computing, which teaches basic computer science to students at the Collegeof Letters and Sciences there. Since leaving UCLA, he has been on the faculty ofthe University of San Francisco. At USF Peter has served as chair of the computerscience department and is currently chair of the mathematics department.His research is in parallel scientific computing. He has worked on the developmentof parallel software for circuit simulation, speech recognition, and the simulationof large networks of biologically accurate neurons. Peter has been teachingparallel computing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for nearly twentyyears. He is the author of Parallel Programming with MPI, published by MorganKaufmann Publishers.
