The most exciting development in parallel computer architecture is the convergence of traditionally disparate approaches on a common machine structure. This book explains the forces behind this convergence of shared-memory, message-passing, data parallel, and data-driven computing architectures. It then examines the design issues that are critical to all parallel architecture across the full range of modern design, covering data access, communication performance, coordination of cooperative work, and correct implementation of useful semantics. It not only describes the hardware and software techniques for addressing each of these issues but also explores how these techniques interact in the same system. Examining architecture from an application-driven perspective, it provides comprehensive discussions of parallel programming for high performance and of workload-driven evaluation, based on understanding hardware-software interactions.

synthesizes a decade of research and development for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers in parallel computer architecture, system software, and applications development
presents in-depth application case studies from computer graphics, computational science and engineering, and data mining to demonstrate sound quantitative evaluation of design trade-offs
describes the process of programming for performance, including both the architecture-independent and architecture-dependent aspects, with examples and case-studies
illustrates bus-based and network-based parallel systems with case studies of more than a dozen important commercial designs

About the Author

David Culler led the Berkeley
Network of Workstations (NOW) project, which sparked the
current commercial revolution in high-performance clusters.
Anoop Gupta co-led the Stanford DASH multiprocessor project,
which developed the shared-memory technology increasingly
used in commercial machines.

Jaswinder Pal Singh led the
development of the SPLASH and SPLASH-2 suites of parallel
programs, which have defined the workloads and methodology
used to drive decisions and evaluate trade-offs in shared-
memory parallel architecture.

Dr. Anoop Gupta is a Distinguished Scientist at Microsoft Research. He works on cross-disciplinary projects that have potential for large business or societal impact. His recent projects focus on areas of education, communication, collaboration, and natural user interfaces.

A book with deep insight

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

The technology discussed in this book might be out-of-date but the framework that the authors use to design the system is worth learning. This book does require a good understanding on computer architecture. So it might not be suitable for you if you just start to learn this subject.

Encyclopedic in scope and theory. Might be supplemented with more practical texts detailing
contemporary processors and code for Matlab/Simulink tools. Don't drop it on your toe!

Content of the book is fantastic. However, the book itself is missing 33 important pages (355-386).

The Parallel Parallel to H&P

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2004

I guest lecture in a graduate level architecture course, and I always enjoy using this book as reference material when I want to lecture on cache coherency. This book is written from the correct perspective that obtaining parallelism is not easy, and so most of the book is spent on the various issues that come up when building a parallel machine. It is probably a good idea to read this book if you want to write parallel code, or if you just want to know why large scale supercomputers are not in wide use today.
Previous uniprocessor architecture knowledge is required for the more interesting chapters. Thus, this book acts as a nice sequel to Henessey and Patterson.

Worst possible book

The book repeats lots of things. Its not well written. Don't buy this book. You will fall sick reading this in a few days.

Good read. Some highly technical stuff that is explained well. Despite some of the architectures under discussion being old, the fundamentals are informative and worth reading. Good low-level information and a logical progression of concepts building on one-another.

Bon contenu, mais qualité photocopie

Reviewed in France on November 29, 2016

Je suis déçu d'avoir reçu le livre aujourd'hui. La qualité de papier et image est une qualité photocopie, qui n'est pas génial non plus.
Par contre, le contenu est toujours utile pour quelqu'un dans le domaine.
