What are some good starting points to learning about Algorithmic Skeletons?

Algorithmic-skeletons, or Parallelism Patterns, are models for programming which hide some or all of the complexity of parallelizing a given program from the programmer who is using them.

General开发者_Python百科ly, I'm looking to dive deep into these models of programming, and am wondering if there are any good introduction or overview texts/papers I should look at first.

You should start by looking at the Wikipedia Page, Goole "Wikipedia Algorithmic Skeleton".

After that take a deeper look at the literature through this survey paper:

Finally I recommend you get your hands on the Skandium Library (Java) to get a feel on how A.S. work:
