Parallel Computing
=============================================================

Parallel computing is discussed in :ref:`slides` starting with Lecture 12.

The recent book of [Rauber-Ruenger]_
gives a good introduction to many topics, including OpenMP (starting in
Section 6.3) and MPI 
Note that there is an on-line version available from UW computers 
`here
<http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-3-642-04817-3#section=675480&page=1&locus=0>`_.

See [Lin-Snyder]_ for a good general introduction to some concepts of
parallel computing.

The book [Scott-Clark-Bagheri]_ also has a good general introduction and
discusses in more detail some algorithmic issues of importance in scientific
computing.

See the :ref:`biblio` for more references.
