If it doesn't have what you want, it has a tremendous bibliography.

...and maybe Dally's A VLSI Architecture for Concurrent Data
Structures...

Hope I got your question right. A very popular and recent book is

"Parallel Program Design, A Foundation" by Chandy and Misra, from 
Addison Wesley.

The book contains a lot of examples of algorithms (mostly traditional)
implemented and desriped in a way that allows implementation as well as
proof of correct behavior on a lot of different (parallel) architectures.

The book is very theoretical and it takes a lot to understand how to prove
the algorithms, but since it is used on very many universities throughout
the world, I guess it must be good.

Not necessarily.
