Review: There is now a wide variety of libraries from which users can choose. Matlab has the advantage that it can run either standalone or on top of the parallel Matlab libraries. This book is for those familiar with Matlab who need to adapt their serial |Matlab program to a parallel environment. It is organised around the core programming process (i.e. design, code, debug and test) and the core parallel programming models (i.e. distributed arrays, manager/worker, and message passing). The book is arranged in three parts. The first part provides a conceptual overview of the key programming concept, accompanied by specific examples. Part II focuses on the analysis techniques of effective parallel programming. The last part presents specific case studies.
