并行计算导论系统介绍涉及并行计算的体系结构、编程范例、算法与应用和标准等。覆盖了并行计算领域的传统问题，并且尽可能地采用与底层平台无关的体系结构和针对抽象模型来设计算法。书中选择MPI(Message Passing Interface)、POSIX线程和OpenMP这三个应用*广泛的编写可移植并行程序的标准作为编程模型，并在不同例子中反映了并行计算的不断变化的应用组合。(ntroduction to Parallel Computing System introduces the architecture, programming paradigms, algorithms, applications and standards of Parallel Computing. It covers the traditional problems in the field of parallel computing, and uses the architecture independent of the underlying platform and the abstract model to design the computing method as far as possible. The Book chooses MPI (Message Passing Interface), POSIX Procedure and OpenMP as the programming model, and reflects the changing application combination of parallel computing in different examples.)
