I will update these references as the course progresses with additional resources that you might find helpful. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to include!

Textbooks

I do not require that you have a physical textbook for this class, however there are some that we will use extensively. Each are available online from the UCSC library.

• The main book we will use is The Art of Multiprocessor Programming.
• For those of you who have not taken CSE 120, you may find Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach helpful. Chapter 2 deals with the memory hierarchy and Chapter 3 deals with hardware for instruction level parallelism.
• For more information on GPU computing, I recommend CUDA by Example.
