Industry Reviews

"...the first basic book on the subject that I've ever seen that seems to have the pulse on the true issues of parallelism that are relevant for students." - Alan Edelman, MIT

"Principles of Parallel Programming is a wonderful book and I plan to use it in our new parallel programming course..." - Peiyi Tang, University of Arkansas, Little Rock

"I like [Principles of Parallel Programming] very much for a few specific reasons: it's concise, covers the most relevant topics but does not take thousand pages to do it, it is hands on and it covers...recent developments with multi-core and GPGPU." - Edin Hodzic, Santa Clara University
