Hi. Can anyone recommend any references on the problems of educating programmers
in the concepts of parallel-processing? Some of our people are starting to look
at applying multiple-transputer systems to numerical/spatial analysis and
i want to make sure they are aware of the problems they may experience
(because the people who do the programming still think serially, they are
likely to write poor code for parallel-execution unless retrained!).

Thanks in anticipation..
