Multiprocessor programming, also known as Multicore programming, requires new principles, algorithms, and programming tools. Multicore programming has been practiced on single processor machines for some time. When multicore processing is performed on the new crop of multiprocessor machines though, it becomes much more complex. The key difference is the need to understand how separate processors coordinate with one another, which is called multiprocessor synchronization. The Art of Multiprocessor Programming is the first comprehensive presentation of the principles and tools available for programming multiprocessor machines. It will be of immediate use to programmers working with the new architectures. For example, the next generation of computer game consoles will all be multiprocessor-based, and the game industry is currently struggling to understand how to address the programming challenges presented by these machines...

 Parallel Programming with MPI
Peter Pacheco
ISBN: 9781558603394
Copyright 1996
A hands-on introduction to parallel programming based on the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) standard, the de-facto industry standard adopted by major vendors of commercial parallel systems. Parallel Programming with MPI, based on the C language, contains many fully-developed examples and exercises. The complete source code for the examples is available in both C and Fortran 77. Students and professionals will find that the portability of MPI, combined with a thorough grounding in parallel programming principles, will allow them to program any parallel system, from a network of workstations to a parallel supercomputer...
