Parallel Programming in C with MPI and OpenMP

Rating:
Summary: A good introductory book
Review: I used this book in my parallel computing course. It is really a good introductory book on parallel programming. Some examples are given in the book. The first seven chapters discuss parallel algorithm design, MPI, examples on The sieve of Eratosthenes and Floyd's algorithm, and performance analysis. Some other topics that also covered (some of these may or may not have working examples) include the matrix-vector multiplication, Monte Carlo, matrix multiplication, solving linear systems, sorting, FFT, search, and finite difference methods. Since there are so many topics to be covered in a book of only 500 pages, the discussions on most of these topics are not very depth. Overall, I still recommend this book for beginners in parallel algorithm design.
