Most of the course material is covered by:

• the “SPM course notes” by M. Danelutto (the 2013 version of the course noted (more syntax fixes, chapter 11 on parallel bulding block added, section 8.5 on vectorization added) PDF can be found here (A4) and here (smaller size, suitable to be read on an ebook)). Updates and additional material will be made available during the lessons and PDF links will included on this page, in case.

I suggest consulting also these books, available as ebooks from major electronic book stores and in paper copy:

• “Structured Parallel Programming (Patterns for Efficient Computation)” by M. McCool, A. D. Robinson, J. Reinders, Morgan Kaupfmann 2012 (preview available at this link).

During the course we will often refer to/use the Fastflow parallel programming framework:

• FastFlow home page and source forge home
• To obtain the most recent version of FastFlow, try a

  svn co https://mc-fastflow.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mc-fastflow

The previous Academic Year material is still available at this link
