The thoroughly updated edition of a guide to parallel programming with MPI, reflecting the latest specifications, with many detailed examples. This book offers a thoroughly updated guide to the MPI (Message-Passing Interface) standard library for writing programs for parallel computers. Since the publication of the previous edition of Using MPI, parallel computing has become mainstream. Today, applications run on computers with millions of processors; multiple processors sharing memory and multicore processors with multiple hardware threads per core are common. The MPI-3 Forum recently brought the MPI standard up to date with respect to developments in hardware capabilities, core language evolution, the needs of applications, and experience gained over the years by vendors, implementers, and users. This third edition of Using MPI reflects these changes in both text and example code. The book takes an informal, tutorial approach, introducing each concept through easy-to-understand examples, including actual code in C and Fortran. Topics include using MPI in simple programs, virtual topologies, MPI datatypes, parallel libraries, and a comparison of MPI with sockets. For the third edition, example code has been brought up to date; applications have been updated; and references reflect the recent attention MPI has received in the literature. A companion volume, Using Advanced MPI, covers more advanced topics, including hybrid programming and coping with large data.

What does Google's management of billions of Web pages have in common with analysis of a genome with billions of nucleotides? Both apply methods that coordinate many processors to accomplish a single task. From mining genomes to the World Wide Web, from modeling financial markets to global weather patterns, parallel computing enables computations that would otherwise be impractical if not impossible with sequential approaches alone. Its fundamental role as an enabler of simulations and data analysis continues an advance in a wide range of application areas.

"Scientific Parallel Computing" is the first textbook to integrate all the fundamentals of parallel computing in a single volume while also providing a basis for a deeper understanding of the subject. Designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in the sciences and in engineering, computer science, and mathematics, it focuses on the three key areas of algorithms, architecture, languages, and their crucial synthesis in performance.

The book's computational examples, whose math prerequisites are not beyond the level of advanced calculus, derive from a breadth of topics in scientific and engineering simulation and data analysis. The programming exercises presented early in the book are designed to bring students up to speed quickly, while the book later develops projects challenging enough to guide students toward research questions in the field. The new paradigm of cluster computing is fully addressed. A supporting web site provides access to all the codes and software mentioned in the book, and offers topical information on popular parallel computing systems.

Presenting the main recent advances made in parallel processing, this volume focuses on the design and implementation of systolic algorithms as efficient computational structures that encompass both multiprocessing and pipelining concepts.;While the architecture of present-day parallel supercomputers is largely based on the concept of a shared memory, with its attendant limitations of common access, advances in semiconductor technology have led to the development of highly parallel computer architectures with decentralized storage and limited connections in which each processor possesses high bandwidth local memory connected to a small number of neighbours. Systolic arrays are a typical and highly efficient example of such architectures, enabling cost effective, high-speed parallel processing for large volumes of data, with ultra-high throughput rates. Algorithms suitable for implementation on systolic arrays find applications in areas such as signal and image processing, pattern matching, linear algebra, recurrence algorithms and graph problems.

The aim of these proceedings is to help disseminate the knowledge about the potential of parallel computing. The contents give an overview of various European sites pioneering the Connection Machine and convey a flavour of the different applications that run efficiently on this parallel architecture.

Depth search machines (DSMs) and their applications for processing combinatorial tasks are investigated and developed in this book. The combinatorial tasks are understood widely and contain sorting and searching, processing NP-complete and isomorphic complete problems, computational geometry, pattern recognition, image analysis and expert reasoning. The main philosophy is to see EXISTENCE and EVERY as the basic tasks, while IDENTIFICATION, SEARCHING and ALL algorithms are given both for single and parallel DSMs. In this book, many IDENTIFICATION, SEARCHING and ALL algorithms are performed in single and parallel DSMs. In order to support side applications of the given approach, there are many new models for representing different combinatorial problems. The given approach enables low computational complexity for many practical algorithms to be reached, which is theoretically quite unexpected if the classic approach is followed.

Business has joined science and engineering in exploiting the benefits of high-performance computing. Parallel programming has become an important skill for professionals developers to deliver fast and optimized software systems. This guide to parallel programming takes a programmer from design through coding, testing, and deployment, beginning with an introduction to parallel 'thinking' and program design. The book examines the major parallel system architectures and the most prevalent technologies, and concludes by tying all concepts together into a single application. Although the core of the guide is about programming and software engineering, it also provides a solid understanding of how to engineer a reliable and useful parallel system for high-performance computers. This new guide targets the professional C and C++ developer who needs to understand all key technologies for developing parallel programs and software systems. It will be an essential reference for those with interests in the software engineering, parallel programming, and concurrent programming fields.

As per the constant need to solve larger and larger numerical problems, it is not possible to neglect the opportunity that comes from the close adaptation of computational algorithms and their implementations for particular features of computing devices, i.e. the characteristics and performance of available workstations and servers. In the last decade, the advances in hardware manufacturing, the decreasing cost and the spread of GPUs have attracted the attention of researchers for numerical simulations, given that for some problems, GPU-based simulations can significantly outperform the ones based on CPUs. The objective of this book is first to present how to design in a context of GPGPU numerical methods in order to obtain the highest efficiency. A second objective of this book is to propose new auto-tuning techniques to optimize access on GPU. A third objective of this book is to propose new preconditioning techniques for GPGPU. Finally, an original energy consumption model is proposed, leading to a robust and accurate energy consumption prediction model.

This volume contains the conference proceedings for the 2001 International Conference on Parallel Processing Workshops.
