## Description

Parallel Programming with MPI [Pacheco, Peter] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Parallel Programming with MPI

Review: Good introductory book for MPI - Altho the book covers a lot, it is a good book for whom may want to learn about parallel computing. Keep in mind that this is MPI, so it is not used to accelerate your processes via video card (you can still do that with MPI, but you gotta drive CUDA or OpenCL via MPI), but for any other task that requires more processing powers, MPI is just right (and OpenMPI is a good API). It covers C language mainly, so if you are used to C++ will take a bit to adapt the code; the examples works fine and the book teaches you also the programming paradigms and processes to actually make MPI applications. You may find better books that talks about the MPI libraries, but this one teaches you also how to write the program in a "parallel way"; which is much appreciated if you are a beginner of multicore programming, Not for beginners; get this book only if you have an above than average programming knowledge of C or C++, otherwise it will take a while to digest the concepts in this book.
Review: Well written, easy for someone who is not an MPI guru... yet - The book is written very well and goes through how the MPI functions work and all their parameters in pretty fine detail. He even talks about the simpler things many books overlook. The only thing I wish was in this book, and this has nothing to do with the quality of the book, is some C++ reference or talk of the C++ MPI calls. This book is written with examples in C only (I think FORTRAN one may be available online), but the theory he teaches and the design of the programs will work for any language, of course. It would be nice to have a good reference chapter that lists the FORTRAN MPI functions and the C++ ones too though.
