Parallele Programmierung: Eine Einfuhrung - Lehrbuch Informatik Thomas Braunl

Brief Description: This introduction to parallel programming explores the fundamentals of parallelism, parallel system architecture (MIMD and SIMD), and parallel programming languages, and presents methods for designing parallel algorithms, for writing efficient parallel programs, and for computing performance data and judging it. Table of Contents: Grundlagen: Klassifikationen, Parallele Operationen, Parallelrechneraufbau - Grobkornige Parallelitat (Aufbau eines MIMD-Rechners, Softwarestruktur, Synchronisation und Kommunikation, Vektorisierung, Programmiersprachen, Parallele Algorithmen) - Massive Parallelitat (Aufbau eines SIMD-Rechners, Softwarestruktur, Programmiersprachen, Neuronale Netze) - Programmierumgebungen und Effizienz."Biographical Note: Dr. Thomas Braunl arbeitet am Fachbereich Informatik der Universitat Stuttgart. Das Buch entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Leiter des Instituts fur Parallele und Verteilte Hochstleistungsrechner, Herrn Professor Dr. AndreasReuter"
