In Praise of Programming Massively Parallel Processors:
A Hands-on Approach
Parallel programming is about performance, for otherwise you’d write a
sequential program. For those interested in learning or teaching the topic,
a problem is where to find truly parallel hardware that can be dedicated to
the task, for it is difficult to see interesting speedups if its shared or only
modestly parallel. One answer is graphical processing units (GPUs), which
can have hundreds of cores and are found in millions of desktop and laptop
computers. For those interested in the GPU path to parallel enlightenment,
this new book from David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu is a godsend, as it intro-
duces CUDA, a C-like data parallel language, and Tesla, the architecture
of the current generation of NVIDIA GPUs. In addition to explaining the
language and the architecture, they define the nature of data parallel pro-
blems that run well on heterogeneous CPU-GPU hardware. More con-
cretely, two detailed case studies demonstrate speedups over CPU-only C
programs of 10X to 15X for naı¨ve CUDA code and 45X to 105X for expertly
tuned versions. They conclude with a glimpse of the future by describing the
next generation of data parallel languages and architectures: OpenCL and
the NVIDIA Fermi GPU. This book is a valuable addition to the recently
reinvigorated parallel computing literature.

Written by two teaching pioneers, this book is the definitive practical refer-
ence on programming massively parallel processors—a true technological
gold mine. The hands-on learning included is cutting-edge, yet very read-
able. This is a most rewarding read for students, engineers and scientists
interested in supercharging computational resources to solve today’s and
tomorrow’s hardest problems.

I have always admired Wen-mei Hwu’s and David Kirk’s ability to turn
complex problems into easy-to-comprehend concepts. They have done it
again in this book. This joint venture of a passionate teacher and a GPU
evangelizer tackles the trade-off between the simple explanation of the con-
cepts and the depth analysis of the programming techniques. This is a great
book to learn both massive parallel programming and CUDA.

The use of GPUs is having a big impact in scientific computing. David Kirk
and Wen-mei Hwu’s new book is an important contribution towards educat-
ing our students on the ideas and techniques of programming for massively-
parallel processors.

This book is the most comprehensive and authoritative introduction to GPU
computing yet. David Kirk and Wen-mei Hwu are the pioneers in this
increasingly important field, and their insights are invaluable and
fascinating. This book will be the standard reference for years to come.

This is a vital and much needed text. GPU programming is growing by
leaps and bounds. This new book will be very welcomed and highly useful
across inter-disciplinary fields.
