Chapter 14

Summary

In this book, we worked to demystify the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor and provide the foundational information that would fit in one book. The most challenging part of using such highly parallel device is parallel programming itself. That is a topic unto itself that we have only touched on a little in this book. The better understanding of parallel programming one has, the more sophisticated a programmer can be at eliminating nonparallel computations from an application.

If you are seeking to learn more about parallel programming, we recommend Structured Parallel Programming that was coauthored by James Reinders along with Michael McCool and Arch Robison. In that book, the authors work to explain common algorithms or patterns ...
