This book should provide an excellent introduction to beginners  and the performance section should help those with some experience who want to push OpenMP to its limits.\" from the foreword by David J. Kuck  Intel Fellow  Software and Solutions Group  and Director  Parallel and Distributed Solutions  Intel Corporation OpenMP  a portable programming interface for shared memory parallel computers  was adopted as an informal standard in 1997 by computer scientists who wanted a unified model on which to base programs for shared memory systems. OpenMP is now used by many software developers; it offers significant advantages over both hand-threading and MPI. Using OpenMP offers a comprehensive introduction to parallel programming concepts and a detailed overview of OpenMP. Using OpenMP discusses hardware developments  describes where OpenMP is applicable  and compares OpenMP to other programming interfaces for shared and distributed memory parallel architectures. It introduces the individual features of OpenMP  provides many source code examples that demonstrate the use and functionality of the language constructs  and offers tips on writing an efficient OpenMP program. It describes how to use OpenMP in full-scale applications to achieve high performance on large-scale architectures  discussing several case studies in detail  and offers in-depth troubleshooting advice. It explains how OpenMP is translated into explicitly multithreaded code  providing a valuable behind-the-scenes account of OpenMP program performance. Finally  Using OpenMP considers trends likely to influence OpenMP development  offering a glimpse of the possibilities of a future OpenMP 3.0 from the vantage point of the current OpenMP 2.5. With multicore computer use increasing  the need for a comprehensive introduction and overview of the standard interface is clear. Using OpenMP provides an essential reference not only for students at both undergraduate and graduate levels but also for professionals who intend to parallelize existing codes or develop new parallel programs for shared memory computer architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67953166221365,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262533022","price":110.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262533027.jpg?v=1794452836","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/using-openmp-portable-shared-memory-parallel-programming-scientific-and-engineering-computation-9780262533027","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
