Introduction To Parallel Computing: A Practical Guide with Examples In C is a comprehensive book for undergraduate computer science engineers studying parallel processing. The book introduces students to utilizing the power of parallel processor technology in their code, showing them how to compute linear algebra, fast Fourier transform, Monte-Carlo simulations and similar computations through the power of parallel processors. The book approaches the subject through the C programming language, and uses FORTRAN numerical library conventions to help students understand the concepts with practical applications. It draws upon several projects undertaken at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, to help students understand the curriculum in a real-world manner. The book is an indispensable resource for all undergraduate computer science students and for researches wishing to use parallel computing methodology in their code. About the Authors Dr. Wesley P.
