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.
Integrates all the fundamentals of parallel computing essential
for today's high-performance requirements Ideal for graduate and
advanced undergraduate students in the sciences and in engineering,
computer science, and mathematics Extensive programming and
theoretical exercises enable students to write parallel codes
quickly More challenging projects later in the book introduce
research questions New paradigm of cluster computing fully
addressed Supporting web site provides access to all the codes and
software mentioned in the book
