The Art of Multiprocessor Programming

The art of multiprocessor programming

The only ones I can think of off-hand are these two. The second one isn't really about parallel/concurrent/distributed programming per se, but rather about using Intels Threading Building Blocks - good book if that's what you want to do, but not very useful if not. The first book is interesting and covers a lot of ground (covering general techniques and algorithms as well as specific implementations with OpenMP, MPI and Java's facilities), but I liked Art of multiprocessor programming more, probably because it has a more beginner friendly teach everything from the very beginning approach. http://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Parallel-Programming-Timothy-...

I read (not all of it, maybe 50% of it) "The art of multiprocessor programming" a couple of years ago and I agree, its an excellent book. I have a handful of books on the topic and I find this to be my favourite.

"Peopleware" http://www.amazon.com/Peopleware-Productive-Projects-Second-... (http://www.amazon.com/Peopleware-Productive-Projects-Second-Edition/dp/0932633439) , a lot of insights and ideas how to build great teams. Great to read for developers, team leads and managers. "The art of multiprocessor programming", excellent book on parallel programming theory with code explanations: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0123705916?ie=UTF8&tag=nirs...
