Preface

We are proud to introduce the second edition of Programming Massively Parallel Processors: A Hands-on Approach. Mass-market computing systems that combine multicore computer processing units (CPUs) and many-thread GPUs have brought terascale computing to laptops and petascale computing to clusters. Armed with such computing power, we are at the dawn of pervasive use of computational experiments for science, engineering, health, and business disciplines. Many will be able to achieve breakthroughs in their disciplines using computational experiments that are of an unprecedented level of scale, accuracy, controllability, and observability. This book provides a critical ingredient for the vision: teaching parallel programming to millions ...
