Parallel Computer Architecture: A Hardware/Software Approach (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design)
Reviews:

starsWorst possible book
The book repeats the lotteries of the things. The relative written bond. It does not buy this book. You will fall sick that reads this in some days.


starsThe Parallel Parallel to H&P
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.


starsnot well written
I think the book is not especially well written. Sentences
are long and in some cases unprecise or directly wrong.

The book often does often not provide sharp and good definitions and
it is not easy to extract the information contents, compared to many other books within this or related fields,
for an example "Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing"
by Hwang and Briggs, or books by M. Morris Mano.


starsUp-to-date information, but not in a simplified way
this book was the handbook suggested for the course parallel that I have taken, it of architecture is a large book, since covers the last fields in computers.But too much difficult parallel for a principiante, cause subjects is explained in an advanced sense, presupposing a previous acquaintance in the ritrovamento of elaboration graduated parallel subjects.I it more adapted to or profissionals in the university students rather than of this field.


starsGreat book for beginners and even experienced professionals!
I have read this book and its a very good book which explains all the details ranging from cache architecture to the basics of parallel computer programming. I have not seen any book that talks in detail about SMP and cc-numa.
