Books on concurrent programming in OpenMP and MPI

Question

I have been programming C and FORTRAN for the past 6 years, but so far I have only been doing serial programming. Now I would like to switch to the parallel design of the program, but I really did not find a book that would help me make this jump. I looked at Chandra's book on concurrent programming in OpenMP and Michael J. Quinn on C programming with Open Mp and MPI, but I was wondering if there is a better alternative to the two. Thanks in advance!

I can recommend Using OpenMP from Chapman, Jost and Van de Pas. This is a really good introduction to OpenMP and contains many details about language usage and better performance.

This tutorial can also be a useful introduction, if you've never experienced concurrent programming, this is a good entry into general concepts and ideas.
