The book is intended as a programmer's introduction to the use of SIMD on PCs It presents the underlying technology of SIMD processing on current PCs and looks at tools to exploit this including the Intel SIMD library and the Parallel Processing Language Vector Pascal It explains how to cast algorithms in parallel to exploit the parallel processing ожвой capability of standard PCs obtaining large performance gains relative to conventional sequential compilers It assumes a familiarity with imperative programming but not specifically with Pascal It does not assume any prior familiarity with the SIMD programming model The language translation system will be available either as a downloadable for Linux or Windows in association with the book This book will be particularly useful for programmers in the rapidly growing area of games and multi-media entertainment, and it would also to academics interested in parallel programming techniques or array programming languages Авторы Paul Cockshott Kenneth Renfrew.  ShowtimСерия: Springer Professional Computing.
