  This text aims to make sense of the new generation of workstations for application programmers and purchasing managers. It covers topics, from the basics of modern workstation architecture, to structuring benchmarks, to squeezing more performance out of critical applications. The book closes with a look at the high-performance future: parallel computers and the more garden variety shared memory processors that are appearing on people's desktops.
