Description
An Introduction to Parallel Programming, Second Edition presents a tried-and-true tutorial approach that shows students how to develop effective parallel programs with MPI, Pthreads and OpenMP.
As the first undergraduate text to directly address compiling and running parallel programs on multi-core and cluster architecture, this second edition carries forward its clear explanations for designing, debugging and evaluating the performance of distributed and shared-memory programs while adding coverage of accelerators via new content on GPU programming and heterogeneous programming. New and improved user-friendly exercises teach students how to compile, run and modify example programs.

thank you for your help -- would very much be interested in updated resources / slides from authors, as per prior edition of text. thank you for your time, Will
Excelente libro para aquellos que quieran iniciarse con la programación en paralelo, contiene buenos ejemplos y ejercicios. Usa las APIs más usadas en el campo. Se recomienda tener algún conocimiento en C/C++.

It seems that no additional materials for instructors are provided, especially for the chapter 6 and 7 added to the 2nd edition.
Excellent book for an introductory course of Parallel Computing. Highly recommended
This is a good book for my parallel computing class. I used the first edition in my class and now I will move to the 2nd edition.
