How to Use this Resource...

Contents

• CPS 615 -- Computational Science for Simulation Applications
• Lectures from CPS 615 and other course in Syracuse University's Computational Science Curriculum. This course is designed to teach the basic tools from mathematics and computer science that are needed to give computational solutions to scientific and engineering problems.  As taught by Prof. Geoffrey C. Fox in Fall 1997 and previous offerings. Includes 33 foil sets containing more than 1900 foils.
• Parallel Computing Works! by Geoffrey C. Fox, Roy D. Williams, and Paul C. Messina
• This book describes work done at the Caltech Concurrent Computation Program, Pasadena, California. This project ended in 1990 but the work has been updated in key areas until early 1994. The book also contains links to some current projects.
• Designing and Building Parallel Programs: Concepts and Tools for Parallel Software Engineering by Ian Foster
• Designing and Building Parallel Programs is a book for students and professionals who need to know how to write parallel programs. It is neither a programming language manual nor an academic treatise on algorithms. Instead, it approaches parallel programming as an engineering activity, in which programs are developed in a methodical fashion and both cost and performance are considered at each stage in a design. It is intended as both an introduction to parallel programming and a practitioner's guide for programmers, engineers, and scientists developing programs for parallel and distributed computer systems.
