==== Books and notes ==== 

 * the "SPM course notes" by M. Danelutto PDF that can be found  [[http://backus.di.unipi.it/~marcod/SPM1415/spmSept14.pdf|here]] (Version of Sept 2014, A4 size) and [[http://backus.di.unipi.it/~marcod/SPM1415/spmSept14Epub.pdf|here]] (Version of Sept 2014, EPUB size) . Updates and additional material will be made available during the lessons and PDF links will included on this page, in case. 
This year I'm preparing a new introductory part that will be available before the end of the course, hopefully by end of October, beginning of November. 

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 [[http://books.google.it/books?id=zpaHa5cjLwwC&printsec=frontcover&hl=it#v=onepage&q&f=false|this link]]).
