Parallel And Distributed Programming Using C++ provides an up-closelook at how to build software that can take advantage of multiprocessorcomputers. Simple approaches for programming parallel virtual machines arepresented, and the basics of cluster application development are explained inthe book.Through an easy-to-understand overview of multithreaded programming, this bookalso shows students how to write software components that work together over anetwork to solve problems and do work. This book takes complicated almostunapproachable parallel programming techniques and present them in a simple,understandable manner. It presents current efforts to use C++, the popularobject-oriented programming language, on high-performance parallel computers andclusters of workstations.
