Designing and Building Parallel Programs, by Ian Foster

Designing and Building Parallel Programs (Online) is an innovative traditional print and online resource publishing project. It incorporates the content of a textbook published by Addison-Wesley into an evolving online resource. Here is a description of the book, and here is the table of contents.

Designing and Building Parallel Programs (Online) integrates four resources concerned with parallel programming and parallel computing:

• The content of Designing and Building Parallel Programs
• A collection of public-domain Parallel Software Tools
• A collection of Web Tours providing access to other information on Parallel Computing
• Various educational resources.
