Submission + - Linux hacker announces Parallel Programming book (livejournal.com)
Josh Triplett writes: Linux kernel hacker and parallel programming guru Paul McKenney announced his book-in-progress, Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?. It currently has a good combination of "documentation nobody else ever bothered to write" on many forms of synchronization and concurrency, from the simple to the cutting edge, with a bit of a peek beyond. It has a ways to go before it could become a publishable book, but by the standards of software documentation it represents one of the best references I've seen.
