This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the principles and tools
available for programming multiprocessor machines. It is of immediate use to
programmers working with the new architectures. For example, the next generation
of computer game consoles will all be multiprocessor-based, and the game industry
is currently struggling to understand how to address the programming challenges
presented by these machines. This change in the industry is so fundamental that
it is certain to require a significant response by universities, and courses
on multicore programming will become a staple of computer science curriculums.
The authors are well known and respected in this community and both teach and
conduct research in this area. Prof. Maurice Herlihy is on the faculty of Brown
University. He is the recipient of the 2003 Dijkstra Prize in distributed computing.
Prof. Nir Shavit is on the faculty of Tel-Aviv University and a member of the
technical staff at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. In 2004 they shared the Gödel
Prize, the highest award in theoretical computer science.
