Building upon the wide-ranging success of the first edition,
Parallel Scientific Computation presents a single unified approach
to using a range of parallel computers, from a small desktop
computer to a massively parallel computer. The author explains how
to use the bulk synchronous parallel (BSP) model to design and
implement parallel algorithms in the areas of scientific computing
and big data, and provides a full treatment of core problems in
these areas, starting from a high-level problem description, via a
sequential solution algorithm to a parallel solution algorithm and
an actual parallel program written in BSPlib. Every chapter of the
book contains a theoretical section and a practical section
presenting a parallel program and numerical experiments on a modern
parallel computer to put the theoretical predictions and cost
analysis to the test. Every chapter also presents extensive
bibliographical notes with additional discussions and pointers to
relevant literature, and numerous exercises which are suitable as
graduate student projects. The second edition provides new material
relevant for big-data science such as sorting and graph algorithms,
and it provides a BSP approach towards new hardware developments
such as hierarchical architectures with both shared and distributed
memory. A single, simple hybrid BSP system suffices to handle both
types of parallelism efficiently, and there is no need to master
two systems, as often happens in alternative approaches.
Furthermore, the second edition brings all algorithms used up to
date, and it includes new material on high-performance linear
system solving by LU decomposition, and improved data partitioning
for sparse matrix computations. The book is accompanied by a
software package BSPedupack, freely available online from the
author's homepage, which contains all programs of the book and a
set of test driver programs. This package written in C can be run
using modern BSPlib implementations such as MulticoreBSP for C or
BSPonMPI.
