Hi:
When I was studying numerical analysis at school, everything is serial.
But nowadays, more ppl are dealing with parallel algorithm. Yes, there are
books talk about many different parallel algorithms for certain problems,
e.g., matrix algebra and quadrature rules. But I am more interested to see
if there are more theoretical books on parallel computing, not just a set of
algorithms. For example, J Strikwerda's FD book gives a broad and detailed
understanding for FD used for PDEs. I'm looking for something similar but
for parallel numerical methods.
Thank you,

Check out the book at this website:
http://athenasc.com/pdcbook.html
"It focuses on algorithms that are naturally suited for massive
parallelization, and it explores the fundamental convergence, rate of
convergence, communication, and synchronization issues associated with
such algorithms."
Moreover, it comes as a free download so you won't have to pay anything
to get it. The authors are well-known professors from MIT so you know
what's in there comes from reliable sources.
Enjoy! |
