DESCRIPTION:
Professor Kaminsky invented Parallel Java (PJ), an API and middleware for parallel programming in 100% Java on shared memory multiprocessor (SMP) parallel computers, cluster parallel computers, and hybrid SMP cluster parallel computers. . Now an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Professor Kaminsky teaches and conducts research in parallel computing, computational science, distributed s
The course, while an elective, is offered within most computer science departments at most universities. Reviewers commented positively on the author's clear writing style, which will be beneficial to students who often are forced to grapple with muddled texts at these higher levels. One advantage of being able to perform parallel programming is the ability of a computer scientist to test many versions of one problem simultaneously. Parallel programming is an elective course offered within most computer science programs. Parallel programming teaches students how to run programs across several computers, as opposed to running a single program on one computer. The author will make unique Java code samples and toolkits available (student downloads on course and also on the instr
"Good book" according to Kenyon Ralph. This is a good book. I used it for a parallel computing undergraduate course at UCSD. It has many interesting case studies that go from sequential versions to parallel versions. The parallel versions usually start out slow and naive, and progress to an improved solution, helping you learn the techniques for parallel programming along the way. Software development is fun using the author's GPL'd Parallel Java library.. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. Clear text, examples are great
In a curriculum that's more leaning toward Java, it's certainly a very good option." . "It's quite good, compared to many of the manuscripts that I get to review. Parallel programming is become more and more important. Java's becoming a preferred language for the students and that's definitely making this book more attractive. The parallel Java library makes this a pretty friendly way for Java programmers to start programming in parallel.""This book will claim a unique position for the use of Java in parallel computing. I would be happy to have my students learn from this text for what it offers.""I think this text will do well
