Love It!, May 14 2009
This review is from: The Art of Multiprocessor Programming (Paperback)
I really like this book. The material is pretty dense, just like Knuth's book series. However I didn't find the material unapproachable. This book has done a good job conveying the state of the art in parallel programming research. I loved this book for its theoretical approaches, and mathematical proofs. I used to search for academic papers on the subject, and this book has put the material together into an accessible form. I don't think this book is useful as a recipe book, or a "how to" book for parallel programming. Rather it is useful if you are the person designing new algorithms that have to be thread safe, or new data structures. This is definitely a theory book.
