The book
Introduction to parallel computing (
Amazon pointer) by Grama, Karypis, Kumar and Gupta, has in Chapter 5 a good introduction to performance modelling of parallel forms. Most of the analytical modelling presented in SPM lessons is discussed in the book by M. Vanneschi “Architettura degli elaboratori”, PLUS ed. 2010 in chapter X (this is in Italian, however).
Structured parallel/distributed programming
Skeletons
-
Cole's PhD
thesis (gzipped postscript)
-
Paper introducing the macro data flow implementation model for skeletons

Design patterns
Amazon pointer to
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software book by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John M. Vlissides (this is not relative to “parallel” patterns, actually)
Amazon pointer to
Patterns for Parallel Programming by Mattson, Sanders and Massingill, this is the book of parallel design patterns mentioned during the lessons
-
1 2 3 4 : pointers to papers by Massingill et al. illustrating parallel design patterns.
NEW!
A fresh look at the parallel programming problems:
A View of the Parallel Computing Landscape by Krste AsAnoViC, rAstisLAV boDiK, JAmes DemmeL, tonY KeAVenY, Kurt KeutZer, John KubiAtoWiCZ, neLson morGAn, DAViD PAtterson, KoushiK sen, John WAWrZYneK, DAViD WesseL, AnD KAtherine YeLiCK.
Target architectures (sw)
Non structured
Structured
C(++) + MPI based
eSkel
eSkel home page. This is the skeleton library maintained at the group of Murray Cole in Edinburgh.
Muesli
Muesli is the skeleton library by Herbert Kuchen at Muenster University.
Here is the library homepage.
SkeTo
SkeTo is the skeleton library running on top of MPI by Tokyo skeleton group. The
home page has links to download the library and the relative documentation.
MALLBA
This is a project run by Spanish Univ. Here is the project
home page
ASSIST
This is not targeting MPI, actually (it uses a POSIX/TCP target). Most of the concepts in ASSIST come from the skeleton and coordination language frameworks. ASSIST home page is
here
Java based
AOP/annotations based
ML based
OcamlP3L
This is an implementation of P3L written in Ocaml, the french dialect of ML (
home page).
Skipper
Several version of Skipper was developed by J. Serot at LASMEA, here is the
home page of the last version, Skipper-D. Skipper adopts a macro data flow implementation.
