| 1. |  | Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World from Pragmatic Bookshelf Price: $24.39 Customer Review:  In my opinion, Programming Erlang has been bought and used primarily because it is first book on Erlang, not because it will stand the test of time. Alpha-geeks want to learn Erlang and there just aren't many options available yet. Unfortunately, this is not a well-done book. I expect more from The... |

| 2. |  | The Art of Multiprocessor Programming from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $62.95 Customer Review:  The Art of Multiprocessor Programming is an outstanding text that will soon become a classic. I give a chapter by chapter review of it below. Practitioners that are already well versed in parallel programming can jump directly to Chapter 7, however, I would suggest at least skimming Chapters 2,... |

| 3. |  | Programming Language Pragmatics from Morgan Kaufmann Customer Review: This book offers a good introduction to basic programming language concepts: scanning/lexical analysis, parsing, semantic analysis, and several other compilation phases. It covers functional languages as well. It's easy to follow too. |

| 4. |  | Higher-Order Perl: Transforming Programs with Programs from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $54.06 Customer Review: Non-Lisp programmers, I think, fundamentally misunderstand the appeal of Lisp, and why it is superior to other programming languages. Lisp is not superior because it offers higher order functions or any of the other things, it is superior because it does not get in the way: Lisp meets problems,... |

| 5. |  | Concurrent Programming in Java: Design Principles and Patterns (Java Series) from Addison-Wesley Pub (Sd) Customer Review: The book contains a lot of concurrent and parallel programming theories, but the organization of the contents is not well formed, such that the reading and understanding of the book are hard. The examples giving in the book are not very helpful either. Overall, the book seems to target for... |

| 6. |  | Parallel Programming: Techniques and Applications Using Networked Workstations and Parallel Computers (2nd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $72.68 Customer Review:  I find this book to be poorly written. The examples are insufficient and the content is only a cursory introduction to parallel programming. My recommendation is to reaearch alternative publications relating to Parallel Programming. |

| 7. |  | Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams: Explorations in Massively Parallel Microworlds (Complex Adaptive Systems) from The MIT Press Price: $19.80 Customer Review: This book presents the concepts of decentralization using the StarLogo programming language. Unfortunately, the code examples are for a early version of StarLogo and will not work correctly with current versions of this programming language. I still think it is a great book for learning about the... |

| 8. |  | Intel Threading Building Blocks: Outfitting C++ for Multi-core Processor Parallelism from O'Reilly Media, Inc. Price: $30.42 Customer Review: I bought this book with the hope that I could find the answers to solving a couple of problems. The first problem being writing parallel threaded code in a standardized way. The second problem being writing the OS threads and associated message queues in a way that is abstracted from the... |

| 9. |  | Introduction to Parallel Computing (2nd Edition) from Addison Wesley Price: $86.29 Customer Review:  I agree with the other reviewers who have said that this book is sloppy. There are just far too many mistakes for a 2nd edition book; very discouraging in an Addison-Wesley print. The content is OK, and fairly thorough, but as another reviewer noted, there's considerable handwaving going on in... |

| 10. |  | Parallel Computer Architecture: A Hardware / Software Approach (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $86.64 Customer Review: 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. |

| 11. |  | Using MPI - 2nd Edition: Portable Parallel Programming with the Message Passing Interface (Scientific and Engineering Computation) from The MIT Press Price: $39.67 Customer Review:  I bought this book for a course on Parallel Computing for which we did some basic MPI programming. This book was useful to a great extent in describing the syntax of the MPI routines as well as in providing ample examples. To my knowledge, it doesn't contain advanced MPI concepts but it is good in... |

| 12. |  | Parallel Programming With MPI from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $62.95 Customer Review: Pacheco's book is a strong, gently paced introduction to a very complex API. MPI, the message passing interface, is the most common coordination tool for parallel scientific computing. When a Blue Gene programmer has 1,000 or 100,000 processors all working on different parts of one calculation,... |

| 13. |  | Algorithms Sequential & Parallel: A Unified Approach (Electrical and Computer Engineering Series) from Charles River Media Price: $37.77 Customer Review: The book represents a very decent approach for a transition from the sequential algorithms design ( RAM model ) to parallel algorithms for different models of parallel machines( not only SMP for which most of the software engineers get accustomed ). The book is an introduction for a person with... |

| 14. |  | Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects from Wiley Price: $68.00 Customer Review: This is an excellent book, but the patterns (Connector, Acceptor, Acceptor-Connector, Reactor, Proactor, Half Sync-Half Async .....) are all available in MORE expansive (yes more expansive) form on the ACE site. Just Google "ACE Framework" and you will see Doug Schmidt and his ACE related... |

| 15. |  | Java Threads from O'Reilly Media, Inc. Price: $29.16 Customer Review: Not the best for learning about Java Threads, but you can use it as a reference when you have a different better book to understand all of the technical jargon... |

| 16. |  | Pthreads Programming: A POSIX Standard for Better Multiprocessing (O'Reilly Nutshell) from O'Reilly Media, Inc. Price: $23.07 Customer Review: With all the sophisticated tools available today such as OpenMP, this book may seem quaint. However before grasping at concepts or just using tools with out any understanding or their make up it would be wise to add this to your learning curve. This book gives a good basic understanding of... |

| 17. |  | The Sourcebook of Parallel Computing (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) from Morgan Kaufmann Price: $61.56 Customer Review: ...This book builds on the important work done at the Center for Research on Parallel Computation and within the academic community for over a decade. It is a definitive text on parallel Computing and should be a key reference for students, researchers and practitioners in the field. The... |

| 18. |  | Using OpenMP: Portable Shared Memory Parallel Programming (Scientific and Engineering Computation) from The MIT Press Price: $30.62 Customer Review: I have most of the parallel computing books out there so I am sort of a collector of sorts. Most focus on either the basics of parallel programming, MPI, OpenMP, both, or some other less popular (yet) paradigm e.g. PFortran, TBB, etc. With every parallel-computing wanna be buying a multicore machine... |

| 19. |  | Parallel Programming in C with MPI and OpenMP from McGraw Hill Higher Education Price: $61.45 Customer Review: This book provides very good introductory material to beginners of parallel programming in MPI. It provides many examples and through them one can learn not only the syntax of MPI but also how to design parallel programs. |

| 20. |  | Netezza Underground: The unauthorized tales of derring-do and adventures in resilient data warehousing solutions. from BookSurge Publishing Price: $31.54 Customer Review: I commend David Birmingham on a book that is at once as lightly entertaining and interesting to read as it is chock full of details about just the kind of performance and operational simplicity that is possible with the Netezza Performance Server (NPS) system. Straightaway from the opening pages,... |
