There is a software gap between hardware potential and the performance that can be attained using today ’ s software parallel program development tools. The tools need manual intervention by the programmer to parallelize the code. This book is intended to give the programmer the techniques necessary to explore parallelism in algorithms, serial as well as iterative.
Parallel computing is now moving from the realm of specialized expensive systems available to few select groups to cover almost every computing system in use today. We can f nd parallel computers in our laptops, desktops, and embedded in our smart phones. The applications and algorithms targeted to parallel computers were traditionally conf ned to weather prediction,wind tunnel simulations, computational biology, and signal processing.Nowadays, just about any application that runs on a computer will encounter the parallel processors now available in almost every system.
