| book description |

Since the 1990s the parallel computing research community has designed a robust set of tools, technologies and strategies for developing parallel applications. Over 60 contributors offer the results of these studies in clear tutorials, application studies and in-depth treatments of the most useful technologies Providing a broad overview to parallel computers and parallel computing, this text begins by examining the architecture of modern parallel computer systems and identifying key considerations for programming them. Through specific application studies, the authors demonstrate how to identify appropriate software and algorithms and the significant implementation issues The application studies encompass a broad range of both scientific areas and numerical appraoches and include cross-references to the later sections in the book that discuss the relevant software technologies and algorithms in greater detail. These later sections describe languages, libraries, performance analysis tools and high-level programming systems, and provide a resource of algorithms for solving specific kinds of science and engineering problems.
