520    What makes computer programs fast or slow? To answer this 
       question, we have to get behind the abstractions of 
       programming languages and look at how a computer really 
       works. This book examines and explains a variety of 
       scientific programming models (programming models relevant
       to scientists) with an emphasis on how programming 
       constructs map to different parts of the computer's 
       architecture. Two themes emerge: program speed and program
       modularity. Throughout this book, the premise is to "get 
       under the hood," and the discussion is tied to specific 
       programs. The book digs into linkers, compilers, operating
       systems, and computer architecture to understand how the 
       different parts of the computer interact with programs. It
       begins with a review of C/C++ and explanations of how 
       libraries, linkers, and Makefiles work. Programming models
       covered include Pthreads, OpenMP, MPI, TCP/IP, and CUDA. 
       The emphasis on how computers work leads the reader into 
       computer architecture and occasionally into the operating 
       system kernel. The operating system studied is Linux, the 
       preferred platform for scientific computing. Linux is also
       open source, which allows users to peer into its inner 
       workings. A brief appendix provides a useful table of 
       machines used to time programs. -- Provided by publisher.
