What is Review of Elements of Parallel Computing about?
As the title clearly states, this book is about parallel computing. Modern computers are no longer characterized by a single, fully sequential CPU. Instead, they have one or more multicore/manycore processors. The purpose of such parallel architectures is to enable the simultaneous execution of instructions, in order to achieve faster computations. In high performance computing, clusters of parallel processors are used to achieve PFLOPS performance, which is necessary for scientific and Big Data applications. Mastering parallel computing means having deep knowledge of parallel architectures, parallel programming models, parallel algorithms, parallel design patterns, and performance analysis and optimization techniques. The design of parallel programs requires a lot of creativity, because there is no universal recipe that allows one to achieve the best possible efficiency for any problem. The book presents the fundamental concepts of parallel computing from the point of view of the algorithmic and implementation patterns. The idea is that, while the hardware keeps changing, the same principles of parallel computing are reused. The book surveys some key algorithmic structures and pro
