Parallel computing introductory text
Luka Djigas
computing currect capabilities of fortran, for someone who has no
knowledge of the matter?
It would be nice if it had some simple examples which could be
demonstated on today's home computers (multi processor, or multi core)
(meaning, not purely theoretical).
Doesn't have to be a book, a scripta or anything would do just as
well. I searched google a little, but it's hard to search for
something when you don't know what you're looking for.

Maybe the linked books at http://www.co-array.org/?

Maybe not quite so "introductory", but nevertheless:

If it involves parallel dense/sparse linear algebra then you can start
with examples in ScaLapack/Petsc.

when I started to learn OpenMP, I got a book "Using OpenMP" which
covers both C and fortran. I dont know if you really want it or some
more look in "How parallel algo. work", but if you want to write code
in openmp, that book is a good choice.
F95_OpenMPv1_v2 is also a good article, available free over internet,
hast a flowchart type representation of the omp declaration, but less
example.
you may also look at https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/openMP/exercise.html

Just wanted to thanks everyone for their suggestions and
recommendations.
@Colin Watters - yes, I saw the one you mentioned. Actually, that was
the text I read (up to a point) before asking the question. It is a
good article, but some things weren't clear to me, therefore the
question for an introductory text.
Not to be taken wrong, however, it looks like a good article. It's
just that my confusion is at a higher level these days then usually.
I should mention that Wikipedia has a few suprisingly quality articles
on the subject of APIs.
@Saman Abbas - I don't have any problem in mind currently. I'm
literally just getting to know the fundamentals (and the acronyms
used).
@rudra - thanks for the titles. I'll see if our local library has
them, or is maybe willing to order them (filling forms; oh, joy :)
