David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu's new book is an important contribution towards educating our students on the ideas and techniques of programming for massively parallel processors." - Mike Giles, Professor of Scientific Computing, University of Oxford "This book is the most comprehensive and authoritative introduction to GPU computing yet. These three chapters then make the book worthwhile.The chapters on OpenCL, OpenACC, and AMP seem a bit misplaced in a book like this. Benchmark data would have served as a nice conclusion to this chapter.In chapter 9, the authors provide the best description of the Prefix Sum algorithm I have seen to date. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Sending feedback. It would have made sense for the authors to point out that AMP does not support byte and short. If you do not, "CUDA by Example" is a better introduction. When processing large data sets of these types, AMP introduces serious performance penalties.This then brings me to my biggest concern about this book.

The book also covers the enhanced parallel port (EPP), the extended capabilities port (ECP), interfacing analog-to-digital converters, and data acquisition under Linux. and M.S. It describes the problem being solved in terms that I can easily relate to - food. . Hauck - Published on Amazon.comFormat: Kindle Edition "Programming Massively Parallel Processors (second edition)" by Kirk and Hwu is a very good second book for those interested in getting started with CUDA. Or look up "constant memory"; that's not there under "memory", "constant", or otherwise.
