"...This book continues to be the recommend introduction into parallel computers. It provides a wide view of the machines currently available and the way in which they are progressing.... it represents a worthwhile investment for all interested in the field" -- BCS Parallel Processing Specialist Group

"...as a comprehensive and readable introduction, this edition is guaranteed as long a life as its predecessor. As all supercomputer manufacturers embrace parallel processing, it will be found more frequently on physicists' bookshelves" -- Contemporary Physics

"Anyone interested in high computing would do well to introduce themselves to the necessary software techniques sooner rather than later. With a bibliography containing over 500 references and a good index, this book is also a thorough reference work, and in summary is a welcome addition to the technical computing literature." -- The Australian Physicist.

"It will certainly serve as an excellent text book for students and a good handbook for researchers and designers in this area." -- B Qiu, Postgraduate student, Department of Electrical Engineering and electronics, UMIST
