Introduction of Parallel Computer Architecture

Description

Parallel computing refers to the process of executing several processors an application or computation simultaneously. Problems are broken down into instructions and are solved concurrently as each resource that has been applied to work is working at the some time.it is done by multiple (PU's communicating via shared memory, which combines results upon completion. There are many reasons to use parallel computing, such as save time and money, provide concurrency, solve large or problems etc. There are generally three types of parallel computing available: 1. Bit level parallelism, 2. Instruction-level parallelism, 3. Task parallelism. This book introduces the foundations and state of the art of parallel computing. It covers the key aspect of parallel computing: distributed and embedded multicore computing, computing cluster and GPU computing. An overview of practical parallel computing and principles will enable the reader to design efficient parallel programs for solving various computational problems on state-of-the art personal computers and computing clusters.
