5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference for both C and FORTRAN users!, September 3, 1998
By A Customer
As the title implies, this book is a great reference for someone who is looking for a guide to the syntax and usage of MPI. The book does not teach "parallel programming" and doesn't discuss other parallel programming tools which means that the nuts and bolts of MPI are all the more clearly presented and accessible. Furthermore, there are still plenty of examples which demonstrate the usage of the many MPI functions.

Another very valuable (and appreciated) aspect of the book is that *both* the C and FORTRAN prototypes are given when new MPI functions are presented (the C and FORTRAN implementations have slightly different forms).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, August 15, 1998

Set up more as a reference than a tutorial, this book allows users with a very basic understanding of MPI to really take off up the learning curve
