Is the book available yet?

Adapteva kinda has their hands full trying to ship boards, so I'm sure the book will follow. However, there are and to look at, though for some reason, the arch ref link is old and the new version will be

Any recommendations for currently available books?

I've done a lot of that - the noise level is a bit high for my liking.
I'd just like a pointer to a book or two on parallel programming that will map well to my board when it arrives thanks.

Sadly due to everything that has happened, the parallel programming book is still some time away from completion. In the meantime, here is a link to one of my favorites. A well written "philosophical" and practical parallel programming book from the 90's by Ian Foster.(still relevant)

Now the last few boards are being shipped, any thoughts on getting this item done so those that are new to parallel programming have something a little more digestible to read!

My wife called from downstairs, "Parcel from the States! Customs form attached!".

!! WT?? No. Not my twin E16's - but a 2nd-hand copy of Foster's book.
Amazon. Hardback. V.good condition. Inc. delivery, that's £31.74

OK, it's a bit 'dated' (1994) - but that's a lot younger than I am. Also, the performance and scalability modelling chapters are still very relevant.

The book points to the online version, which is really worth looking at for slightly more up to date references - but I really prefer the real thing!
