High Performance Parallelism Pearls Volume One

Preface

This book draws on 69 authors who share how their parallel programming, inspired by the highly parallel Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors, unlocks performance on both processors and coprocessors. In doing so, many of the most critical challenges and techniques in parallel programming are explored with exciting results. Most chapters show how to scale and vectorize well, which will help extract more performance from multicore processors as well as the many-core Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. Other chapters shed light on harnessing neo-heterogeneous systems that combine Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors in a system offering their common programming models. We have also included chapters with expert advice on the unique ...
