High Performance Computing

---

The purpose of this book has always been to teach new programmers and scientists about the basics of
High Performance Computing. Too many parallel and high performance computing books focus on the
architecture, theory and computer science surrounding HPC. I wanted this book to speak to the practicing
Chemistry student, Physicist, or Biologist who need to write and run their programs as part of their research.
I was using the rst edition of the book written by Kevin Dowd in 1996 when I found out that the book was
going out of print. I immediately sent an angry letter to O'Reilly customer support imploring them to keep
the book going as it was the only book of its kind in the marketplace. That complaint letter triggered several
conversations which let to me becoming the author of the second edition. In true "open-source" fashion -
since I complained about it - I got to x it. During Fall 1997, while I was using the book to teach my HPC
course, I re-wrote the book one chapter at a time, fueled by multiple late-night lattes and the fear of not
having anything ready for the weeks lecture.
