Acknowledgments

“I want to give my thanks to the following people for their influences on my career and support in the writing of this book. Without all of them, you wouldn't be reading this and I'd probably be flipping burgers for a living.” (ArtConc 2009)

“To Joseph Sargent and Stanley Chase for bringing Colossus: The Forbin Project to the big screen in 1970. This movie was probably the biggest influence in my early years in getting me interested in computer programming and instilling within me the curiosity to figure out what cool and wondrous things computers could do.” (ArtConc 2009)

“To Roger Wink for fanning the flame of my interest in computers, and for his 30-plus years of friendship and technical knowledge. He taught me Bubblesort in COBOL and is always working on something new and interesting that he can show off whenever we get the chance to meet up.” (ArtConc 2009)

“To Bill Magro and Tom Cortese for being my first manager at Intel and one of my first teammates at the Intel Parallel Applications Center. Working at the PAC gave me the chance to get my “hands dirty” with lots of different parallel codes, to interact with applications and customers from many different technical and commercial areas, and to learn new methods and new threading libraries. It was a “dream come true” job for me.” (ArtConc 2009)

“To Jerry Baugh, Bob Chesebrough, Jeff Gallagher, Ravi Manohar, Mike Pearce, Michael Wrinn, and Hua (Selwyn) You for being fantastic colleagues at Intel, past and present, and for reviewing chapters of my book for technical content. I've relied on every one of these guys for their wide range of technical expertise; for their support, patience, and willingness to help me with my projects and goals; for their informed opinions; and for their continuing camaraderie throughout my years at Intel.” (ArtConc 2009)

To my editor, Mike Loukides, and the rest of the staff at O'Reilly who had a finger in this project. I couldn't have done anything like this without their help and advice and nagging me about my deadlines.“ (ArtConc 2009)

“To Gergana Slavova, who posed as my “target audience” and reviewed the book from cover to cover. Besides keeping me honest to my readers by making me explain complex ideas in simple terms and adding examples when I'd put too many details in a single paragraph, she peppered her comments with humorous asides that broke up the monotony of the tedium of the revision process (and she throws a slammin' tea party, too).” (ArtConc 2009)

“To Henry Gabb for his knowledge of parallel and multithreaded programming, for convincing me to apply for a PAC job and join him at Intel back in 2000, and for his devotion to SEC football and the Chicago Cubs. During the almost 15 years we've known each other, we've worked together on many different projects and we've each been able to consult with the other on technical questions. His knowledge and proficiency as a technical reviewer of this text, and many other papers of mine he has so kindly agreed to review over the years, have improved my written communication skills by an order of magnitude.” (ArtConc 2009)

“And finally, a big heartfelt “thank you” to my patient and loving wife, Lorna, who now has her husband back.” (ArtConc 2009)
