Don't know of any books. Read the book the instructor recommends. Here
are a couple good sites with interesting articles on parallel
programming in general:
http://www.devx.com/SpecialReports/Door/40893
http://www.drdobbs.com/high-performance-computing/
Having access to an operational cluster to test things on while you are
learning helps. In your class you will likely be given access to a
cluster.
Happy coding!
