Quinn successfully bridges abstract parallel models (PRAM, BSP, LogP) with real-world implementation on MPI and OpenMP. Many books lean too heavily on one side; this one strikes a solid middle ground.
If you are looking for more modern implementations (like MPI or OpenMP), Quinn also authored (2003). This later work is often preferred for contemporary practical programming exercises and is sometimes available on GitHub as a supplementary resource.
